SOLVED. Sci-Fi, A guy gets stranded in space and starts a journal or something but the journal is being broadcasted to Earth and everyone is trying to bring him back to Earth. [s]

I’ve never actually read the book, so I don’t know anything about the author or publishing date, but I do remember I found it from a fanfiction that had the same premise.

Ok, just to rule out the obvious, is it possibly The Martian?

[Kira]

It’s not the Martian. The guy’s not a scientist.

[Lobstergirl, au gratin]

How did you find it "from a fanfiction"? Do you know for certain it's been published?

[AnnaNeverLands]

Can it be Marooned by Martin Caidin?

[Kira]

I found it! It’s Orbit by John Nance. Thanks for helping!

[Kris]

Glad you found your book, Kira. Here's the link - Orbit by John J. Nance.
