I forgot to mention this! I even fangirled a bit when I saw his name on the screen during the final credits because I had no idea - Whedonverse alum Drew Goddard was the writer/executive producer of 'The Martian'! No wonder that movie spoke my language (snark/sarcasm)!
I started the book last night and I am really enjoying it so far. I'm only 30 pages in to the paperback but I really like Mark's voice, really funny. Again, sarcasm. <3
