Oh hey, I'm reading The Martian right now! Also loved Project Hail Mary by the same author, Andy Weir. It's a bit more fantastical and just a great read.
I haven't read Hail Mary yet, but I'll have to check it out now. How far along with you on the Martian? You enjoying it?
Not the one you're asking, but I've read both The Martian and Project Hail Mary. You absolutely gotta try PHM if you liked the martian. They're both incredible books, but if I had to rank them, it'd be real close, but Hail Mary would come out on top.
Thanks!
Project Hail Mary used to come up on r/books from time to time and was polarizing. Lots of folks loved it. Lots thought it wasn't good.
If you loved the Martian I think you'll like PHM. I did.
