Been listening to It during my commute. Trying to fill the gaps in my King reading.

I read these two over the weekend.. hilarious stuff. Now, back to the PMP exam prep, since my exam is schedule for 4 weeks from today.

I'd just like to say that "The Martian" deserves to win some awards. It will be one that I read again in a few years.

Fun series. The first book is probably the weakest, so if you're not thrilled at least give #2 a try.

Somebody please read The Martian so we can talk about how awesome it is.

I have it on my short list, unfortunately, with me that is probably six months out. Must find more free time.

Let me know your impression of this one. GG Kay's Asian themed novels haven't been as interesting to me as his Latin and Middle Eastern books.

I'll pick it up today. I loved your Red Rising choice.

I'm enjoying it so far, but I know what you mean. He really pushes the poetic side of his writing here, and between that and an emphasis on cultural customs, it's not as easy to get lost in the story.

So while I'm waiting on everyone to read what I declare will already be the best book I read this year (The Martian!), I'll step back into my normal niche...

The only book of his that I really enjoyed was Lions of al-Rassan, and maybe Tigana. Last Light of the Sun? *snore*

I finished Old Man's War during a power outage. Enjoyable/interesting, but I don't feel the need to read the sequels.

I really, really enjoyed the Sarantine Mosaic books, which happened to be the first ones I discovered. Since then, the law of diminishing returns has kicked in with Kay's books in my eyes.

I've completed two thirds of The Martian. It is like crack: it keeps me awake and leaves me craving more. Stephen King once described The Running Man as a book where everything but breathless plotting was jettisoned overboard. The Martian has the same feel.
