2016 Reading: The Martian

#20 A science-fiction novel


I was originally going to read The Complete Robot by Isaac Asimov but I found out that it was a series of short stories and I really wasn't in the mood for that so I went with something that my mother recommended because she said it was hilarious.

And it was.

There was a lot of technical jargon to get through at various points, but considering that the main character is a stranded astronaut, it's to be expected. I found myself laughing out loud as I read this and I finished it in one day because I could not put it down. I have been avoiding watching the movie until I could finish the book and now that I have, I look forward to watching it and seeing if it holds up.
