Good *recent* books ?

Haven't seen a thread on great (recently released) reads for us voracious readers. If I missed it, mods feel free to kill this or merge...

One I've really enjoyed is "The Martian" by Andy Weir. Not all that Scifi per se, more about ingenious ways to stay alive. An astronaut is presumed dead in a sandstorm and gets left behind on Mars with very limited means of survival. But he's kind of a MacGyver (without the mullet)... Gotta figure out food, O2, power, contacting earth...

If you are any kind of engineer, or have ever gotten out of a bind with duct tape, you will love how clever this book is. I also like how it's written, sarcastic and self deprecating... Everyone I've recommended this book to also loved it, so I'm putting it here...

Your turn ?
