I have an hour commute each day and Audible has been a real treat for me. Currently listening to Project Hail Mary and it is superb!

I call Project Hail Mary my emotional support book. I’ve listened to it several times. I don’t know why, but it soothes me.

Honestly, I totally get that. I'll definitely listen to this book again.

Tell me more, what's it about?

I stole this from Amazon's synopsis as I was afraid of saying the wrong thing and to ruin any micro surprises that truly make the book a real treat to listen to.
"Ryland Grace is the sole survivor on a desperate, last-chance mission—and if he fails, humanity and the earth itself will perish.
Except that right now, he doesn’t know that. He can’t even remember his own name, let alone the nature of his assignment or how to complete it.
All he knows is that he’s been asleep for a very, very long time. And he’s just been awakened to find himself millions of miles from home, with nothing but two corpses for company.
His crewmates dead, his memories fuzzily returning, Ryland realizes that an impossible task now confronts him. Hurtling through space on this tiny ship, it’s up to him to puzzle out an impossible scientific mystery—and conquer an extinction-level threat to our species.
And with the clock ticking down and the nearest human being light-years away, he’s got to do it all alone.
Or does he?
An irresistible interstellar adventure as only Andy Weir could deliver, Project Hail Mary is a tale of discovery, speculation, and survival to rival The Martian—while taking us to places it never dreamed of going."
