I’m pretty much fucked. That’s my considered opinion. Fucked. Six days into what should be one of the greatest two months of my life, and it’s turned into a nightmare. I don’t even know who’ll read this. I guess someone will find it eventually. Maybe a hundred years from now. For the record…I didn’t die on Sol 6. Certainly the rest of the crew thought I did, and I can’t blame them. Maybe there’ll be a day of national mourning for me, and my Wikipedia page will say, “Mark Watney is the only human being to have died on Mars.”

Great background theming on the blog which totally suits the content. Really good selection/variety of books across the genre with a mix of well-known authors and stories with lesser known authors (to the Sci-fi novice anyway!!:)).Good descriptive annotations given on each title. Two tiny quibbles - hard to read some of the text on the blog as it blends in to the black background, and maybe run a spell-check before publishing. Overall - great!!
