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!

Try Solaris by Stanislaw Lem. One of the best books I've ever read and is more or less what you are describing.

I think The Star Diaries by Lem might be as good a fit. Personally I enjoyed it even more than Solaris.

Seconding the star diaries - they're a lot more light hearted and have that more "stuck in space due to weird space things" vibe while Solaris is more "stuck in space because I'm being haunted by moral issues and my dead girlfriend"

Can't wait to read a book about Sun Microsystem's operating system. Nonetheless, looks cool! Added to my bookmarks
