What I was reading in\u00a0The Dome:<\/p>\n

\"the-martian-by-andy-weir-673x1024\"“The Martian<\/a>” by Andy Weir<\/p>\n

I felt I had to, as the movie’s coming out soon and everyone was asking what I thought of it. It was a fun read, and the technical details were extremely well researched. I’m very much looking forward to the movie to see how Hollywood interprets it.<\/em><\/p>\n

\"57936\"“Seven Pillars of Wisdom<\/a>” by T. E. Lawrence<\/p>\n

Wonderful book about the Arab Uprising in the First World War and Lawrence’s experience with it. Some places sounded simply stunning and amazing, like Rumm and Petra, and I would love to see it first hand. Other experiences sounded horrific. The volcanic, desert landscape came across as very Mars-like, and his musings on leadership by a person not trained to lead, and who had little inclination to do it, were also very interesting.<\/em><\/p>\n
