Some books tend to turn up again and again, almost insisting that you have to read them. For now 'The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo' turns up everywhere. I just have to read it.

Yes, I loved The Martian.

Sometimes we forget the book but when it was a good one (like this one), we still remember the message or information.<br /><br />I understand your point about The Martian, yes, it could have been different but I guess the majority wouldn't have liked that.<br /><br />And I think reading books we might not have otherwise is a good thing. I came to that through the book clubs but find that other bloggers can be even more intriguing. I know a lot of people here who read different books but there usually are a few we have in common and we start from that.

I started this because I was in an international book club where members changed all the time because they only came to the country for a couple of years. So, someone suggested, I write this blog so they all can see what we are reading now. That was a long time ago, I don't live there anymore, the book club has been dissolved, and I'm still here.
