Agreed that Hail Mary is an excellent book. The movie will come out in March, it looks to be a good representation of the source material.I've had a slack year - not read almost anything, but I do have a few banked up. Andy Weir's Project Hail Mary, John Scalzi's When the Moon Hits your Eye, maybe some others, but I think those are non-fiction or other than science fiction.
It even tempts me to go to a theater again.
