Thursday Night Book Club HOLIDAY (Nov/Dec)

About this event

Special night, special time! This is our final meeting of the year when we do EVERYTHING including book discussion, Yankee book swap, and a vote on our favorite read of the year. If you're feeling it, bring a snack or beverage to share. We will provide pizza. For the book swap: bring a wrapped favorite book, new or used. Everyone will go home with a new book to read. We'll be chatting about PROJECT HAIL MARY, Andy Weir's sci-fi thriller that was adapted into a feature film earlier this year. Come chat about the book, the audiobook, the movie, space, or all of the above! About the Book: 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? Hailed by USA Today as “an epic story of redemption, discovery, and cool speculative sci-fi,” Project Hail Mary is an irresistible interstellar adventure as only Andy Weir could deliver.
