  Finished A Gentleman in Moscow.

  Honestly, this was a bit of a slog. The bulk of the book felt like apologetics for aristocracy, but I was told to keep going, it gets better towards the end. The plot did pick up towards the end, but I don’t know if it made the rest of the book worthwhile.

  Finished The Martian. At first I thought the premise was too similar to Project Hail Mary, but it won me over, and I really enjoyed it.
