Simon's Brett's The Corpse on ther Court is a good mystery about court tennis

just put on reserve The Martian by Andy Weir,great review on WSJ.com,and a quote from: Library Journals LLC

 VERDICT By placing a nail-biting life-and-death situation on Mars and adding a snarky and wise-cracking nerdy hero, Weir has created the perfect mix of action and space adventure. Mark is hilarious, which makes the terror of marooned death on Mars not just bearable but downright fun.
