If you've not read the book "The Martian" by Andy Weir, and if you like Sci-Fi as a genre, it's a "must".
I'd never heard of it, but my younger daughter does book reviews and reckons it's one of the best she's read this year so far. She lent me her review copy, and I agree with her.
She tells me it was originally "self published" by the author, but was taken up by a publisher and printed.

So that is the situation. I’m stranded on Mars. I have no way to communicate with Hermes or Earth. Everyone thinks I’m dead. I’m in a Hab designed to last thirty-one days.
If the oxygenator breaks down, I’ll suffocate. If the water reclaimer breaks down, I’ll die of thirst. If the Hab breaches, I’ll just kind of explode. If none of those things happen, I’ll eventually run out of food and starve to death.
