The Martian by Andy Weir
Nominated for 6 Oscars
Andy Weir’s The Martian tells the story of astronaut Mark Watney who finds himself stranded and completely alone on Mars after a dust storm nearly kills him and forces his crew to evacuate. The book is filled with drama that keeps the reader guessing from page 1. No surprise that the film adaptation scored Oscar nominations for Best Picture, Best Director and a Best Actor nomination for Matt Damon.
