I really enjoyed that book and the whole "alone in space" vibe it gives off. Are there any more like it?

EDIT: Jeez i can't reply to you all. I wish there was a way to compile all your suggestions into a Goodreads list, these all sound awesome!

Massive fan of The Martian and Weirs follow up called 'Project Hail Mary'. It leans a little more in the direction of Science Fiction than the Martian did, but it's an absolute page turner from front to back.

Wow you're fast! Just looked it up and that looks like an awesome book. Going to have to read that one. Thanks!

It's also an excellent audiobook, gives it another layer

This is how I "read" the book. It was fantastic and my wife at first just didn't care if I listened to it. But quickly started looking forward to listening to it with me. Great book.

Ohh interesting! I am not really an audio book guy though, whenever i read i'm listening to music.

You might like audio books then, hits the audio side of the brain

It's a really fun audiobook, if that's your thing!

The way they did the alien speech in the audiobook was really neat

I keep hearing that the audiobook is amazing, but it's a fantastic book either way. A true spiritual successor to The Martian.
