The Martian was taking the literary world by storm before the film industry fell in love with its movie adaptation in 2015. Originally self-published in 2011, Andy Weir’s debut science fiction novel rocketed to the Best seller’s list after it was re-released by Crown Publishing in 2014. Around then it caught the eye of screenwriter Drew Goddard, who Began Adapting the novel into a film with Weir’s input. Now, Goddard is up for the Best Adapted Screenplay Oscar for His work. See the most popular passages from Weir’s book, according to Functional Kindle users:
- “Yes, of course duct tape works in a near-vacuum. Duct tape works anywhere. Duct tape is magic and Should be worshiped. “
- ” How can control how Aquaman whales? They’re mammals! Makes no sense. “
- ” They say no plan survives first contact with implementation. I’d have to agree. “
- ” Maybe I’ll post in consumer reviews. ‘Brought product to surface of Mars. It stopped working. 0/10. ‘ “
- ” It’s true, you know. In space, no one can hear you scream like a little girl. “
- ” As with most of life’s problems, this one can be solved by a box of pure radiation. “
- “I tested the brackets by hitting them with rocks. This kind of sophistication is what we interplanetary scientists are known for. “
- ” Only an idiot would keep that thing near the Hab. So anyway, I brought` it back to the Hab. “
- ” An ironic death for someone with a leaky space suit: too much oxygen. “
- ” Once I got home, I sulked for a while. All my brilliant plans foiled by thermodynamics. Damn you, Entropy! “
