Since we last met, I've re-read The Martian (I was planning to space it out a bit, but I ended up zooming through it), and began and then abandoned Gorky Park (big cast of quirky characters, none of whom I liked or cared about their problems, with the possible exception of the movie studio costume assistant who appeared in one scene, and I suspect that if I read on in the hope of more of her story I'd just be disappointed).

Currently, I've just started Major Pettigrew's Last Stand by Helen Simonson, which I got in some kind of book deal ages ago without much idea of what it's about.
