I'm about 4 chapters in and, so far, it is essentially the world's longest story problem....which I'm enjoying to this point but I love math.

I'm hoping to finish it off today. I've heard good things so I'm looking forward to it.

I thoroughly enjoyed The Martian, but I'm wondering how cringe-worthy some of the book jokes will translate into film. I've heard good things though.

The book is outstanding. My favorite read this year so far by a mile.

Yeah, its my second favorite read this year behind The Water Knife; though, I guess the book is actually a few years old. Lots of good reviews so far for the movie, but was going to check it out regardless of the reviews.

No. You may substitute Matthew McConaughey if you want.

What about Texas Chainsaw McConaughey with the electrical leg? Does that do it for you?

It was a good book. I enjoyed it.

I wonder how the movie will be with so much of the story tied into his log entries but it sounds like they made it work from the movie reviews.

It really was just the world's longest story problem, though, right through to the end.
