    Here's a case where that picture of the movie is probably far more famous than the book. Sounds good though, hope you enjoy,

    I have been meaning to read The Martian since it was published. I haven't managed to find a time to do it yet, though. I hope you are enjoying it. Happy reading!

    I loved the movie, but I haven't read the book. Friends have told me it's as good as the movie -- or better.
    Thank you for hosting The Friday 56.
