I just read Andy Weir's The Martian in one day -- it was (obviously) fantastic. I highly recommend it.

  Reading this too, loving it so far!

  Freaky. I'm reading this on another tab in this very browser session. Did you by any chance have any involvement in a recent /r/kerbalspaceprogram thread? Or is this just crazy coincidence?
  • twosheep 11y ago
    Just a coincidence! I bought the book a few weeks ago but didn't pick it up until I was finished with something else.

  One of the best books I read in 2013, hugely enjoyable and very funny. Was also lucky to get the 99p Kindle self published one before he got picked up by a publisher.

    I remember seeing that deal. Should have jumped on it then but forgot about it. Then I saw the book at an airport news stand and grabbed it...glad it got picked up by a publisher!

    The publisher made a few small edits too. The last scene of the book was completely cut out ('are you out of your fucking mind?'). Treasure your original edition.
