"The Martian", Chapters 1-2.

I've read the first two chapters now, in which our so far unnamed protagonist finds himself stuck on Mars without a way to get home. No spoiler alert because that's really pretty much what the book's about - you knew that, right?

In the beginning Weir is mostly focused on giving us the background about the Mars program, plus some technical details about the equipment he has available. Then there's some info about what he needs to survive - food, water, air, shelter, etc. That's pretty much the story of the first two chapters. Onward!
