    Hi Freda,
    I've heard The Martin is really good. I'll have to put that on list. Have a great day!

    I was surprised by how much I loved The Martian - a great audiobook and they did a good job with the film. Congrats on completing a challenge. I'm not doing any organized challenges this year but I have an ongoing Finish the Series one that I work at each year (not very successfully).

    I watched the Martian but haven't read the book yet. Is it worth is if I already saw the movie?

      I think the book was better and there were a couple things in the book that were not in the film. I would, just for comparison, or curiosity. :-)

    That's great you were able to complete a challenge. I don't really do them, since i tend to have varied taste in my reading all ready and don't like the pressure.

It is like a machine that runs non-stop that has the computing power to be able to make very complex decisions and experience unexplainable phenomena like emotions. The brain controls every other organ in the body so it is arguably the most important one.
