Jeff and Rebecca strap in for a trip to outer space as they revisit Andy Weir's space thriller Project Hail Mary in advance of the upcoming adaptation. They talk about what makes this a singularly fun reading experience, Weir's special ability to blend hard science with humor and humanity, and why we need more interstellar bromances.

    This season of Zero to Well Read is sponsored by thriftbooks.com. You can find more than 19 million new and used books in addition to games, movies, gifts, and other stuff to feed your mind, feed your brain, feed your life. One of those things could be today's episode topic, which is Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir. Now, this is the kind of book, there's not a whole bunch of used copies. It sold very well in hardcover. It was in hardcover for a long time. There is a paperback now. It is selling very well, but people love this book, as you'll hear us talk about the show, so people hold onto it. So probably not gonna find a used one, though you might. You can set an alert there. But what you can find and browse, and that's one of the fun things about looking at thriftbooks.com, is editions from other jurisdictions. There's a Chinese boxed one that is super cool. I may have set an alert to find out when it's available. I'm a little scared to see how much it costs, but it looks great. But you can find Project Hail Mary new or used if you get lucky over there. Uh, prices are super competitive, new, with the other kind of places you would go to get a discount on new books. So thanks to thriftbooks.com for sponsoring this season of Zero to Well Read. Let's get into the show. [upbeat music] Welcome to Zero to Well Read. I'm Jeff O'Neal. Zero to Well Read is a podcast about the books you wish you'd read or maybe you have read, maybe you're going to read, but maybe haven't, maybe won't, maybe want to just a little bit more. Got a nice comment from, uh, someone yesterday.
