I really enjoyed that book and the whole “alone in space” vibe it gives off. Are there any more like it?

EDIT: Jeez i can’t reply to you all. I wish there was a way to compile all your suggestions into a Goodreads list, these all sound awesome!

    The first two books in C.S. Lewis’ Space Trilogy: Out of the Silent Planet and Perelandra both fit the bill. Plus I find them extra-charming because they’re so dated, which adds to the adventure and mystique, in my opinion. They feel like a hybrid of science fiction and something like a Jules Verne adventure story.

      Neither one came close to scratching the itch like The Martian in my view. They did lead me to a Sherlock Holmes kick though.
