I think this was my first actual sci-fi book (not including Dungeon Crawler Carl) and I’m so glad it was

I bought The Martian too lmao! I have a smaller mystery book that’s next on the list but then I’m definitely moving to the Martian

Mark Watney is my favorite silly space guy atm, it’s been over a month and that book still has me in a chokehold the ending nearly made me cry (in a good way) (the movie is good too, there were a few changes I didn’t like, it was still a great movie i’ll be likely to rewatch, Matt Damon did a great job as Mark)

and Artemis is more of like a space thriller, it’s a lot different than PHM/The Martian, but still rooted in realism

The Martain has a more gripping story, but Artemis is fucking hilarious

and my hot take is that The Martian is the best Andy Weir book I loved it more than PHM

if you like audiobooks, I highly reccomend the 2005 release. its narrated by the wonderful Stephen Fry.

that is the best way to experience them because you can hear in his voice just how much he was enjoying it. so warm. look, the movie adaption wasn't very good, ill admit, but having him come back as the narrator was a genius move.

and the full series may or may no be available on the 𝘣𝘢𝘺 of 𝘢𝘶𝘥𝘪𝘰𝘣𝘰𝘰𝘬 for free. Because otherwise its a little pricy. but you did not hear that from me.
