Artemis has a very familiar style to The Martian (Weir's first book), and though it tries to recreate the same humour and heart, it doesn't get there for me.
I'll give him another shot with Project Hail Mary very soon.

Heading home after the weekend, and stopped in at Kulin... where I was delighted to find an extensive street library just outside the tractor museum!

Freestyle Brewing are the kings of hazy IPAs in Perth. This double oat cream is slightly sweet, and coats the tongue beautifully. In other words, perfect!

Rematched Spinal Tap recently, and thoroughly enjoyed it. This book tells the story behind the making of the movie, and helps me appreciate it even more.
It hasn't compelled me to see the sequel yet though.

I really love a bourbon barrell aged stout... and Sierra Nevada haven't let me down. I haven't had a Narwhal in many years, and I'm glad I came back to it.

Vintage 90s sci-fi police procedural... saved only by the evangelical police chief protagonist, who was violent, corrupt and immoral. He was the only interesting part of the story, though thoroughly unlikeable.

Well, they promised me a nitro stout with dark fruit and gingerbread flavours, and they delivered. Easily the most interesting beer I've ever had from Spinifex. This was great.

Red IPAs are possibly my favourite style, but not common these days. New local brewery Seabreeze has this absolute classic in its range.
A perfect example of the style, I love it.

I'm a sucker for sporting memoirs, and this one was fine... but bloated and a little self-serving. I've discovered, for example, that if anything, Ponting was *too much* of a team player. 😂

The extreme ends of the city (Mandurah and Mindarie) combine to produce this classic IIPA. Nothing hazy and sweet about this, just sharp grapefruit flavours, and lingering bitterness.

Re-reading Lord of the Flies for the first time in 30 years, with this vintage 1969 edition from a street library.
Starts slow, and I was doubting my memory of it at first, but the 2nd half is riveting.

Bryson uses each room in his house to tell the story of the origins of modern life.
It didn't all connect clearly at times, but the slow, slightly rambling nature of the book means this doesn't matter.
Very interesting!

Enjoying it more than I'm enjoying the Wallabies struggle against Japan. 😟
