First off, I am a guy who absolutely hates reading, and has hated it since about 5th grade. I'm always surprised by people that can sit down and read full books in one sitting, but no matter what I've tried I just can't get into it. I usually just get too bored staring at the pages, and often get too frustrated by my lack of progress and interest in the story.
That being said, a friend of mine recommended The Martian by Andy Weir. And it's honestly great. The main character is an engineer (like me), and must use his wits and ingenuity to survive being left behind on Mars after a failed mission. It's a super easy read, and I actually really like the subject matter. Plus, after starting it, I discovered the movie comes out in October, giving me more incentive to finish it (although I'm curious how they'll make a movie of just Matt Damon wandering around Mars for 2+ hours).
