Why read it?
1 author picked Life on Mars as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
A hapless astronaut is on a mission to find Life on Mars and explores a seemingly barren landscape. The astronaut is unaware of what is going on -- if only he would turn around!

From Nancy's list on with sideways humor and irony.
