This book starts off with seven people stranded on an alien planet with little chance of survival. I'm totally with the main character when she doesn't want to be treated like a womb on legs in a colonization attempt that would likely fail. And I respect her choice to kill herself if she wants to. But ( spoilers )
Besides this, I also read a nature guide to the county of Dalsland and noted down places that I would like to go. And read a book for book club that I'll write up after the meeting.
