My husband selected this book to read to our boys. He’s been traveling for work and is enjoying Skyping with us, but there’s something special about a Read Aloud.

Since this is my husband’s choice, it’s not on the MENSA reading list, but does have a movie in the theatre. I will warn you, it’s not for the faint of heart as the language is coarse. However, what I will say is it has rekindled my boys interest in Space, Mars, Astronauts!

The Martian

by Andy Weir

The goal is when the book is finished, hopefully the movie will still be in theatres and the boys can catch a matinee around Thanksgiving!
