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

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]

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.
