I finished Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir. Loved the book. There was lots of science, but it was explained well enough that it wasn't an issue. There were also certain things which may not feel very probable, but it's a science fiction, so I didn't care about that, but I can see some people having problem with that.

Started a manga, Jujutsu Kaisen, Volume 1. Just started it yesterday, after finishing Project Hail Mary, and have almost finished it. I have read a couple of small manga before, but it's my first physical one, so enjoying that. Though, when I got it, I didn't realise JJK is still an on-going series. Personally I prefer something that has finished. Ah well, already started it, so just going to read them slowly now.

Still reading The Bullet Journal Method by Ryder Carroll. The book has been a lot more helpful that I expected it to be. I never thought about the "why" part much, at least haven't done so in a while. So, all the talk about mindfulness and chapters about living the intentional life are helpful.

What about you guys? What have you been reading?

About 85% of the way through Perdido Street Station by China Mieville. Absolutely loved the book so far, but I’m wary of the last two chapters as so many people have said it really changed their perspective on the book as a whole. The world building, various races, and monsters in this book are some of the best I’ve ever read. Also Mieville’s pros is masterful, and the book is surprisingly easy to read despite the incredibly wide vocabulary used throughout.

China Mieville's name seem very familiar, but I can't recognize any of his published book, I guess I have just seen it mentioned many times.

Do share your overall impressions after finishing the book.
