i talked about this book with a coworker this week and found out that Andy Weir used to work for NASA and that most (or maybe all) of the events and problem-solving in this book are entirely possible. i plan to do more research on this after finishing. i’m scared to see any potential spoilers if i do it now. i will likely finish this book tonight. debating what i should read next

still enjoying this book! been struggling to find time to read these past couple of weeks. i’m keeping my sunday and monday open so i can stay in and read with tea when this cold front blows in! (texas cold front. it’ll be 52°-72°). 🫖❄️🥶
loving the different storylines with each group in this book. it keeps things interesting! i am still enjoying the humor, too. i assume there will be a happy ending..

“Ayup.” - Watney, Martian, pg 185

“Ayup.” - Mike Myers, Cat in the Hat, 2003

this line made me think of that scene in cat in the hat. im liking the different povs that are developing! i’m glad this entire book isn’t just Watney alone on Mars. the range of characters makes things more interesting. definitely going to start reading more Andy Weir! this has been my year of sci fi

things picked up immediately after posting my previous update. we have new characters, new settings, and dialogue now!! i can tell i’m going to enjoy this one a lot. i love Weir’s humor! it’s something i’m really picky about in books, but it feels effortless here

“Godspeed, little taters. My life depends on you.”

so few pages into this book i’m not sure if i can legally say i’m enjoying it yet, but i am enjoying it. absolutely despise the new kindle update and it taints my reading experience so i’m trying to get over that. i have not had much time to read these past few weeks but i need to start working reading into my leisure time again. excited to stay inside reading during the cold weather soon!! (if it ever happens)
