#56 The Martian by Andy Weir

[missingvolume]

I was very hesitant to read this just for the description about an astronaut abandoned on Mars since the crew thought he was dead. I had a friend tell me this was a great book and I still was a bit shaky about reading it. I gave it a shot and just about read it all in one sitting. For a grim subject the humor in it was great and I found myself laughing at the absurd humor in the book that Mark uses in order to survive on Mars. Now I'm thinking about picking up the audio book for this as well. And I know I will need to track down a first printing of this. and I'm pretty sure that this will be on my Hugo Ballot for next year.
