I really enjoyed those. Good change of pace for me. Now I kinda want to rewatch that Russell Crowe movie.
And I definitely need to go back and finish Justified.

Pushed The Martian on the middle-schooler after listening to a Rewatchables podcast about the movie. Trying to get the high-schooler to read it to, but she's working on The Night Circus (which I think she is liking and will like, but I maybe should have saved that one for her until the weather cooled a little, it's pretty autumnal). I'm also trying to get her to read Tress. So it might be a minute before she gets to it.
He really liked it, and his breakdown was something like "it's about 80% math/science, 10% f-words, and the other 10% is the story." Which I maybe should have remembered before talking him into reading it. We didn't wait on big sister before watching the movie, and predictably he loved that, too (but the book was better, per usual). They really nailed the casting.
I'm plowing through Fagles's Odessey and it's moving along pretty well. Easier to read in big chunks than the Iliad was for some reason. Also started Bullet Train and I have a couple I'm trying to wrap up that I've been working on for a while but got side-tracked from.
