![]() ![]() His crew was supposed to spend 31 sols (days) on Mars but on Sol 6, an enormous storm aborted the mission. ![]() The Martian is Mark Watney who was part of the third U.S. I wanted to spend all my time reading (and last week, when Bart was out of town, I stayed up way too late one night because I just couldn’t force myself to put it down and turn off the light). It’s a pretty good-size book at nearly 400 pages and there is so much science, and yet I never lost steam for a moment. ![]() In most books, I find the first ten pages to be pretty rough and I just have to force myself to push through that curve of figuring out new characters, setting, and style.īut this one had none of that. I’ll admit that I struggle with starting new books almost every time. I opened it up and in one page, I was completely sucked in. So after stalling for weeks, I finally just bought a Kindle copy (happily, it was only about $8). ![]() The library wait lists were forever long and I knew it’d be well past October (you are probably looking at the calendar and thinking, “lady, it already is well past October!”) before I got my hands on a copy. After I picked The Martian for October’s Tell Me What to Read, I couldn’t find a copy ANYWHERE. ![]()
