Wanted to report that both of my adult sons are currently reading Seveneves. This is definitely a first – for more than one of my family members to read a CC book club selection, albeit awhile after the group finished!!
I got my older son interested in Seveneves by reading the first paragraph of the book aloud to him. Who could resist it? DS #1 generally doesn’t read too many books, and when he does they are mostly fantasy series. He does love space, though.
DS #1 is well into the second, “far future,” section of the book, and has learned that a film of it is being planned, directed by Ron Howard. So now he is following the news about that.
Yesterday, DS #1 convinced DS #2 to read the book as well!
