Shelf 49: The Martian

Loved it. Loved every second of it.

It's funny. It's sci-fi with good explanations where you get enough detail to believe that what he's doing is actually feasible in real life but it's not so technical that you just give up and put down the book because you didn't ask for a calculus lesson, damn it.

I haven't seen the movie yet. I badly wanted to read the book first, and I'm glad I did, because it was an excellent book. I read the vast majority of it in one day.

[Photo forthcoming... I returned the book before taking a photo of it with its shelf sign, so I have to wait until it gets reshelved.]
