Hey lit,
Do you have any recommendations for really engrossing novels? The type that you start reading and then want to do nothing but spend the rest of the day reading them. For me at least not all of the books I love feel like that.

OP, I literally cannot recommend the Martian enough. I have a bachelor with honour degree in aeronautical engineering so trust me, I know what i'm talking about when I say the Martian is very intelligent and with a lot to laugh about too. Faith in humanity restored/10.
