Do you love reading unusual books? Milton Library Director Will Adamczyk will host his “Eclectic Book Club with Will” to discuss the book The Martian by Andy Weir on Wednesday, January 27 at 7 PM at the Milton Public Library, 476 Canton Avenue.  The event is free and open to the public.  Meet new friends and discover great, new reading!

Six days ago, astronaut Mark Watney became one of the first people to walk on Mars.

Now, he’s sure he’ll be the first person to die there.

After a dust storm nearly kills him and forces his crew to evacuate while thinking him dead, Mark finds himself stranded and completely alone with no way to even signal Earth that he’s alive—and even if he could get word out, his supplies would be gone long before a rescue could arrive.

Chances are, though, he won’t have time to starve to death. The damaged machinery, unforgiving environment, or plain-old “human error” are much more likely to kill him first.

But Mark isn’t ready to give up yet. Drawing on his ingenuity, his engineering skills—and a relentless, dogged refusal to quit—he steadfastly confronts one seemingly insurmountable obstacle after the next. Will his resourcefulness be enough to overcome the impossible odds against him?

The Martian has been made into a new movie starring Matt Damon.
