Historia
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.

Nerdy SciFi Entertainment
Revisado: 06-17-21
I loved the Martian and was worried Project Hail Mary would be a letdown. It was great, though I kept thinking of Mark Watney at times. Great dialogue, sad, hilarious, and thoughtful at times. Listened to it on a 6 hr drive to Minnesota and another 6 hours back. Finished it the next day at home. Could not stop listening. Loved the calculations and science technobabble. Great nerdy stuff. Favorite characters are Rocky and Eva Stratt
To sum up, it's funny, thought-provoking has great characters, and did I mention it is a wacky buddy story.

Historia
As a child, Chris Hooper dreamed of monsters. But in deep space, he found only darkness and isolation. Then, on planet LV178, he and his fellow miners discovered a storm-scoured, sand-blasted hell - and trimonite, the hardest material known to man. When a shuttle crashes into the mining ship Marion, the miners learn that there was more than trimonite deep in the caverns. There was evil, hibernating and waiting for suitable prey.

This was entertaining though not a gripping story. I really liked the characters but the mystery was not that engaging.

Historia
There are some odd things about Nate’s new apartment. Of course, he has other things on his mind. He hates his job. He has no money in the bank. No girlfriend. No plans for the future. So while his new home isn’t perfect, it’s livable. The rent is low, the property managers are friendly, and the odd little mysteries don’t nag at him too much. At least, not until he meets Mandy, his neighbor across the hall, and notices something unusual about her apartment. And Xela’s apartment. And Tim’s. And Veek’s.

Historia
Billy Crystal is 65, and he's not happy about it. With his trademark wit and heart, he outlines the absurdities and challenges that come with growing old, from insomnia to memory loss to leaving dinners with half your meal on your shirt. In humorous chapters like "Buying the Plot" and "Nodding Off," Crystal not only catalogues his physical gripes, but offers a road map to his 77 million fellow baby boomers who are arriving at this milestone age with him. He also looks back at the most powerful and memorable moments of his long and storied life.

Historia
A belief in free will touches nearly everything that human beings value. It is difficult to think about law, politics, religion, public policy, intimate relationships, morality—as well as feelings of remorse or personal achievement—without first imagining that every person is the true source of his or her thoughts and actions. And yet the facts tell us that free will is an illusion.

Historia
Early in 2004, two writers and Red Sox fans, Stewart O'Nan and Stephen King, decided to chronicle the upcoming season, one of the most hotly anticipated in baseball history. They would sit together at Fenway. They would exchange e-mails. They would write about the games. And, as it happened, they would witness not only the greatest comeback ever in sports, but the first Red Sox championship in 86 years as the team put '86 behind them and eighty-sixed the Curse.

Much better to listen to this book than reading it. They bring a lot to the book.
If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
Miracle in Boston!

Historia
Before Liz Lemon, before Weekend Update, before Sarah Palin, Tina Fey was just a young girl with a dream: A recurring stress dream that she was being chased through a local airport by her middle-school gym teacher. She also had a dream that one day she would be a comedian on TV. She has seen both these dreams come true. At last, Tina Fey's story can be told. From her youthful days as a vicious nerd to her tour of duty on Saturday Night Live. Tina Fey reveals all, and proves what we've always suspected: You're no one until someone calls you bossy.

Academy Award nominee Samuel L. Jackson ( Pulp Fiction, Star Wars films), fresh off the success of his uproarious, Audie-nominated performance of the mock children’s book Go the F**k to Sleep, delivers a swaggering, darkly-humored rendering of Chester Himes’ classic first novel.

The story is mostly about confidence games, the old con and greed. Quite entertaining.
What about Samuel L. Jackson’s performance did you like?
I love hearing SLJ swear. Made me laugh a few times. Reminds me of Snakes on a Plane.

Historia
Space is a world devoid of the things we need to live and thrive: air, gravity, hot showers, fresh produce, privacy, beer. Space exploration is in some ways an exploration of what it means to be human. How much can a person give up? How much weirdness can they take? What happens to you when you can’t walk for a year? Have sex? Smell flowers? What happens if you vomit in your helmet during a space walk? Is it possible for the human body to survive a bailout at 17,000 miles per hour?

The Minutia of Going into Space
Revisado: 02-15-13
Where does Packing for Mars rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
Very entertaining. Just as good a book as Stiff: The Curious Lives of Human Cadavers
What other book might you compare Packing for Mars to and why?
Very similar to Stiff: The Curious Lives of Human Cadavers only the subject is space.
What does Sandra Burr bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
She managed to capture the quirkiness of the subject matter.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
It was very funny at times and educational at times. I learned that doing mundane tasks in space require lots of technology and great aim.
