^I'm having a difficult time remembering the last good sci-fi book I read, so I'll definitely add this to my list.

I think it may have been The Martian, although I imagine this one is quite a bit different.
So Long, and Thanks for All the Tool.

I have been reading a few books lately but by far the best was a trilogy by Hugh Howey.
The first book is titled Wool
Post apocalyptic earth with surviving humans living underground. I wont go into it but I would read it again which is saying something!

Sounds good to me - will check it out.

Lately I've been reading The Fatal Shore: The Epic of Australia's Founding which is a good retelling of Australia's convict history.

How are you finding it so far? Is it well written or a bit dry?

A bit of both - I found some chapters quite compelling, while others are quite bland.
