I admire Mark Watney's high survival instinct and fighting mentality. Many others in his position will give up right away.

This book is suitable for you who are:
- loving outer space

I don't give 5⭐️very often. Here're some of my LOL quotes from The Martian:
Quotes from The Martian
P14-"My asshole is doing as much to keep me alive as my brain"
P15-"Hell yeah I'm a botanist! Fear my botany powers!
P24-"For tonight, I have to get back to Three's Company. I stopped last night in the middle of the episode where Mr. Roper saw something and took it out of context."
P41-...no plan survives first contact with implementation.
P318-I'll spend the rest of the evening enjoying a potato. And my "enjoying" I mean "hating so much I want to kill people."
