Despite having a ton of books to read already, I'm always on the lookout for new books. One of those new books is The Martian by Andy Weir. The story is simple - an astronaut accidentally gets left behind on Mars and has to survive until NASA can figure out a way to rescue him. From the very beginning it looks like everything is stacked against the astronaut... and pretty much everything is. But he's a resourceful guy and is able to solve almost everything Mars throws at him. A few parts of the book are a bit technical, but overall the story really moved along and there are some exciting parts. It is kind of like Castaway on Mars. Hopefully the movie version will be just as fun. I'll give it an A-.
