Luckily these older novels tend to be relatively short.
On a side note I just finished Project Hail Mary - fun read, very much like The Martian, that I would recommend... They are adapting this into a movie with Ryan Gosling and... Emma Stone?!

i absolutely loved the book.
With them casting Emma Stone, sounds like a Gamora/Quill type of "connection" now.
Not sure how i feel about that, but I'd rather them have stayed a bit more true to the true Rocky. But i get how that wouldn't translate to screen so well either.
I'm excited either way. I just listened to the audiobook (after reading the book previously), and it is a must listen, even if you've read it.
I love Emma Stone, but no idea how she is going to play Rocky (for those who read the book, they know what I mean).
Hopefully, they'll pull off some magic, like how Arrival was completely different than The Story of Your Life, but still worked great... Just hope they don't somehow turn it into something its not, like a romance.
