I'm about 70% through the second Jurassic Park book and it's ok. People on /r/books seemed to think it was even better than the first, but it feels like a slog compared to the first. I'm looking forward to moving on to Stephen King's The Stand.

I'm finally reading The Martian by Andy Weir, picked it up on a whim when I brought the kids to the library on Saturday and I'm almost finished it now. I've actually had it on my Kindle for a while but never got around to starting it. I'm enjoying it, looking forward to reading his other books soon.

I read mostly on my Kindle, but I prefer (and miss) reading actual books. But most of my reading is done when its dark and not always able to turn on a light.

That's a fun book! I enjoy his stuff. Have you read Project Hail Mary? I recommend that next if you are looking for more of his work.

I haven't read it yet, but was planning on picking that one up at the library when I return this one. I've heard it was good from my friends that have read it.

I've heard the audiobook is excellent, so that's also an option if you're into those.

I've tried audiobooks before (which are highly dependent on the narrator, obviously) but haven't really enjoyed them. Too often I realize I hadn't really been listening for a good chunk of minutes. Might be a good option for at work, but I have to pay attention to things outside of my immediate workload :(
