I love this post. I too am lazy and pessimistic. I need to read this book though, because it sounds cool.

In reply to stitchesandmarginalia. It's gorgeous, though, right? You should look at the others in the series! I love love love the colors.

I love the artwork you picked, Jenny. I can’t stop staring at it.

I’m with you on being lazy and pessimistic. I’d never survive in space.

I think it would be hard to be too pessimistic if you’d already been left for dead. That reminds me of an expression for being “all in” from the movie American Hustle–you’d have to start “from the feet up.”

Great choice! I am also lazy and pessimistic that’s why I liked Mark. You’d have to be optimistic to survive that!

I feel like so many people read this book and enjoy it and even though I read the reviews of it all the time, I always see it and then wonder, “hmm, I do not remember what this is about.” I think seeing your painting pairing will probably keep it in mind a little longer, so thank you!

And I totes agree. If I were left for dead on Mars, I would call it a day pretty quickly.

Beautiful painting! The Martian has certainly been beloved in my library and I haven’t been able to get my hands on a copy. Everyone loves a good survival tale, it seems.
