Ok, fellow book nerds! One more post to discuss The Martian. (You can see Mark up there is getting a little worn out, too.)

The consensus seems to be that the novel was pretty technologically accurate, with minor limits, and that that generally was the selling point - the 'I'm going to have to science my way out of this' aspect was one that people liked a lot. The NASA scenes seemed to have been necessary, but kinda distracting, and people seemed to find the decision (taken by the rest of the crew) to rescue Mark kinda-anticlimactic. Agree? Disagree? Discuss!

But, all in all, I think people liked it, and had a good time. Hopefully people enjoyed Book Club thus far! Be thinking also of a book you might like to August -later this week I thought we can try and hold a vote to see what people are into. (I don't think anyone else will want to try William T. Vollman's 1300+ page novel about the Nez Perce War, but, I can hope. =P)
