Books Like The Martian Novels & Stories

Alone for the first time since their arrival, Diana prowled her new home looking for something to do, but she couldn't even find one speck of dust to clean. Their robot maid had already done all the work. Sighing, Diana dropped onto the cushioned couch that had arrived yesterday and now held a position of prominence in their living room-and a fond memory that still made her blush. Now what do I do with myself? I wonder if they've got any Earth books I can read. But then Diana remembered something the robot hadn't done yet, the front yard.

Thankfully, Mei chose that moment to pipe up. "You work at the library?" She asked Mars eagerly. At his nod, she barrelled on. "What section? Do you get to read all the new books first? Have you read the latest YA fantasy bestseller Coronas and Crowns? The cliffhanger ending was so good but I'm dying to know what happens!" Mei fired off questions rapid-fire while Mars listened politely, though I could tell the attention flustered him. Guess the guy wasn't used to chatty new acquaintances. But Mei seemed fascinated, hanging on his every word.

I missed my mate, my freedom, my friends, Kailin, and everyone at the vineyards. I watched a series about a group of delinquent kids born in space and dropped to Earth to see if the air was already breathable. I finished Episode twelve, and when a particular character pissed me off, I turned it off and went to read something in the study. There were some fiction books, but primarily old books from Jane Austen, Charlotte Bronte, and Herman Melville. There were self-help and meditation books and a book about mystical creatures. I walked out of the study. If she allowed me to read a book about witchcraft, it might interest me, but that would be as dangerous as walking into the darkness without

I pulled another one out and was about how to buy your time, authored by Dan Martell. Again and again, nothing I found was useful. I nearly gave up when my eyes fell on a bigger book. It was actually one of the biggest books there. It had a yellow cover and I pulled it out, and glanced at it, my eyes glinting at the title, ‘Werewolf And Its Powers’. Flipping through it, the first pages had no significance so I kept on turning pages, hoping to dig out what I wanted. And eventually I paused, stopping to read what it was written.

“I kind of prefer to do my own cooking. Unless I’m throwing a party. Then I can get six chefs in here.” Then we took a tour of his library. It was piled high with books. On the shelves behind were books about computers, technology, programming. I could see that Alex didn’t read much for fun. But I did smile when I saw a few science-fiction books at the top of one of the shelf. They had names likeThe Thing From MarsandGalaxy War. They looked old, too. Had they been his teenage obsession? The floor and the tables were littered with legal volumes, some of which still had barely been unwrapped from their packaging.

- I responded back, burying my thoughts deep. My face flushed realizing that he had been able to pick up these X-Rated thoughts so easily since I had been so deep into it. The book hadn't helped at all to keep my mind on my task for the day. It had been the equivalent of "See Spot Run" in the Draygonian world. Nerrian rolled his eyes and closed the book. He set it off to the side on a pile of books that never quite made it back to his shelves. I don't think this will work today. Nerrian admitted shaking his head.

Kelly mentioned that Martin was taking up his master. "Ugh. Stressful." He chuckled. "That's the reason why I work part-time at Aunt Rory's shop. Being surrounded by books and comics relaxes me." I curiously raised my brow. "What's your favorite?" "Mystery books. John Grisham, Agatha Christie, and the likes." He smiled. "But I'm more into comics. I have a collection of Marvel comics in my apartment." My eyes widened in surprise. "You're a Marvel fan?"

Maybe because I've been in that place many times before. I checked my phone, I got no reply from Xavier. Maybe he was still busy by this time. I remember the mini-library, I think I need to go back to read the books. In that way, I will have some destruction. I pushed open the door of the mini-library, and I saw the books I left on the table. I found some science books to read. It was about astronomy, and learning about the celestial bodies has been so interesting for me. I looked around the room, the window was left open. I can see the curtains moving as it welcomes the wind come in. I hope, it will be night soon, I want Xavier to be home in my arms.
