We're reading this one for my at-work bookclub, looking forward to it. We did the Martian back when and people enjoyed it. Although easy reading it has enough depth to spark a good discussion.

It's an interesting choice for a book club. Due to the way the narrative progresses (you start with an amnesiac protagonist and gradually reveal backstory via memories) discussions could get tricky/problematic if anyone is reading ahead faster than the rest. Obviously all books have some risk of that but PHM is more challenging than most in my opinion.

Our book club finishes the whole book before we have the discussion. You're right, an as-you-go approach would be much more challenging.
