Movie Lover's Book Club: That Martian, by Andy Weir

Movie Lover's Book Club: That Martian, by Andy Weir

Read the book, watch the movie, and let’s get to it! This month we will discuss the humorous Sci-fi book The Martian by Andy Weir, and the movie adaptation The Martian (2015) starring Matt Damon. Whether you loved it, hated it, or bailed halfway through, come join us for some honest insights, fun chats, and maybe a few hot takes! 

Astronaut Mark Watney becomes one of the first people to walk on Mars, and six days later he’s sure he’ll be the first person to die there. Will his resourcefulness be enough to overcome the impossible odds against him? 

Copies of both are ready for you to snag through the Manatee Library – so grab yours today!  

This month’s book and movie include abandonment, injury, strong language, and other adult themes, and is therefore limited to adults age 18 and up. Viewer discretion is advised.
Snacks and drinks will be provided.
