Stella Maris by Cormac McCarthy
3.0

After finishing [b:Stella Maris|60526802|Stella Maris (The Passenger, #2)|Cormac McCarthy|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1658241766l/60526802._SX50_.jpg|95478000], I do think the duology should have just been one book. I think Stella Maris was better, but also the context of both enriches the other. I think the farce of the mystery aspects made the first worse, while Stella painted itself as simply conversation which, overall, both books were. I wasn't looking over my shoulder the whole book but simply living in the digressions.

The second book that I have read this year that deeply delves into mathematicians ([b:Singer Distance|60583990|Singer Distance|Ethan Chatagnier|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1647960378l/60583990._SY75_.jpg|95494147], and despite not much formal math training besides college requirements, I do find this very readable for some reason.
