Greatest, geekiest Robinson Crusoe ever
Terrific book, the Martian's braggadocio and smart aleck response combined with his humanity, courage and resourcefulness in the face of intimidating odds makes for a character and plot line that's truly fantastic. The weaving of innovative solutions and sometimes follow up problems to those clever solutions provide some great plot twists. I would recommend this for those that enjoy a literal hero-against-the-world-and-winning story and dreamers who'll love the “wow, this might happen in our lifetimes.” It's not just a science fiction story for all the nerds.
A great parody of opera and broadway
The two main witches of Lancre have an adventure in the opera house of Anke-Morpork all the while experiencing a parade of The phantom of the Opera and other theater productions.
Fascinating
Great material and story about the good guys trying to fight a behemoth of a problem that's seems to be the legal version of what the dudes in office space tried to accomplish-only on the scale of the entire stock market.
Interesting but not his best work
Enjoyed the interviews from financial travels all over the world and gained a better appreciation for how the financial crisis affected the rest of the world.
