My notes from a best seller book The Martian<\/a>\u00a0by Andy Weir, which I rated 4.4\/5 on my Shelfari account<\/a>. The book was made into a movie, starring Matt Damon (you can see the trailer I linked at the bottom of the post), and it’s expected to come out in\u00a0October this year. I think Matt Damon is an awesome choice for the main character!<\/p>\n

Here are my favorite quotes from this book:<\/p>\n

Are you sure about this?
\nAbsolutely.
\nHave you told anyone else?
\nWho would I tell?
\nI don’t know, friends?
\nI don’t have any of those.
\nOK, keep it under your hat.
\nI don’t wear a hat.
\nIt’s just an expression.
\nReally? It’s a stupid expression.
\nYou’re being difficult.
\nAh, thanks.<\/p>\n

Being your backup has back-fired. I guess NASA figured botany and chemistry are similar because they both end in Y.<\/p>\n

You started my training by buying me a beer. For breakfast.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Why is my daughter in space? You were always scientifically minded. It was great. Straight A student. Hanging out with nerdy guys, too scared to try out anything. No wild side at all. You’re every father’s dream daughter.<\/p>\n

If I get back to Earth, I’ll be famous, right? A fearless astronaout that beat all the odds, right? I bet women like that. More motivation to stay alive.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
