I really like The Martian, but it has been read by a fair amount of people recently, so I suspect most people have written their comments in this thread and we might end up with just a re-hashing of that.
That's my only problem with The Martian as a nomination. It's a great book, one I'd recommend with no reservations, great hard science fiction, and an edge-of-your-seat great thrill ride. But it's already had its own thread here at MobileRead as well as having been discussed by several MobileReaders (of which I'm one) in the Hey!! Let's get some action going! What are we reading? thread. Of course, that doesn't mean it can't be a book club selection, but I don't see what could possibly be added that hasn't already been said.

BTW, if anyone hasn't read this story, what are you waiting for? This one rocks!
