In My Reading Life
Last week, I read An Astronaut's Guide To Life On Earth by Chris Hadfield. I liked it! Now I want to read all the books written by astronauts. Give me recommendations if you know any good ones.
An Astronaut's Guide is part memoir, part self-help book. The author is a real-life NASA astronaut who has been to space three times. He talks about the work ethic and values it takes to achieve extremely difficult goals. (That's the "life on Earth" part.) He also talks about traveling and living in space. (That's the most interesting part.) I wish more of the book had been about life on the International Space Station. I sped through those parts and wanted more.
Since I love medical stuff, I appreciate that the author is so honest about what happens to humans in space. He talks about everything from nausea to sleep to gritty eyeballs. He also talks about what it takes to recover from living in space for months. The recovery is intense. Astronauts can barely stand when they get back to Earth because their bodies aren't accustomed to gravity anymore.
I liked this book. Tell me about more astronaut books with lots of medical information.
In The Rest Of My Life
It's October! As I'm writing this, it's 51°F and I'm not sweaty at all. Friends, I hate summer. I'm thrilled right now.
What else has been going on? Brooklyn went troll hunting in Breckenridge. She found one.
I made improvements to my micro-memoir. The obnoxious ads are gone because they were TOO MUCH. I think I fixed the comment section too? If you have opinions, please leave comments so I can check if they actually show up.
Oh, if you have no idea what I'm talking about, I wrote a micro-memoir. It's short and free. It's called About The Horses In The Room: A Micro-History Of Unimportant Events. It's about unimportant events (obviously).
