Hey use this thread to keep me abreast of the happenings in the world of fiction, preferably in the flavor of science.  I don't have time to hit every new thing that comes out and I won't waste my time on shit so I usually end up consuming new media like 3 years after everyone else did because that's when the good word of mouth finally reaches me.

I'm looking at you, The Martian. I vaguely remember when it was new but ignored it, and now I wish I hadn't.

So use this thread for what I just said.  It's even stickied so you wont need to search for it.

I haven't made it to the movie yet, but unless it's 16 hours long I can't imagine they got all the good stuff from the book into it.  So go read it already.

I'm about 87.5% done with the Martian, read parts of it on my plane trip.  It's probably a 6 to 7 hour read.

I'm a fan of Press Start to Play so far.  It's a bunch of short stories that are video game inspired or themed.  Written by many different authors.

Armada is pretty decent.  2nd book by Ernest Cline who wrote Ready Player One.  Neither is an awesome stand-alone book, but both are FILLED with nostalgia vibes for gamers our age.
