I read widely from many genres. Perhaps this blog will feature fewer ratings and reviews, but I certainly intend to write about my reading life - it's the subject I most find myself wanting to talk about.

Notes on Adaptation: The Martian, casting edition
Last Sunday NPR's "Weekend All Things Considered" aired an interview with "The Martian" author Andy Weir. Weir stated that Matt Damon's portrayal of Mark Watney was exactly how he imagined the character. The author unequivocally approves - that's a ringing endorsement in my book. It's a good interview. In case you missed it:
No, I didn't go to see the movie this weekend - crowds ain't my thing. But I did hear Damon's voice in my head as I read: Mark Watney = Good Will Hunting in Space. So everything's lining up to for this one to be a good adaptation.
Next post AFTER I see it. I promise.
