@laurelrusswurm "the big one" sounds like something you pray for after a long bout of constipation

@thistleweb I don't understand why most people don't understand what's wrong with monopolies.

@thistleweb A lot of small ones are better in either case. ;o

@mjjzf wow, that was what I was typing, then paused to look up whether it was by Stanislaw Lem, and got distracted.
-
@irinarempt These are fascinating. I like Asimov as much as anyone, but these authors get forgotten as classical sci-fi, and they are great.
-
Trying to remember title of Soviet !SciFi !book, much like Brave New World & 1984. They build a space ship "the Spiral". Anyone? !Russian?
-
@sazius I saw that the Hollywood version was on TV once but didn't watch it, so I can't comment.
-
@jla I don't remember it that well anymore, but I guess it was OK. But the Russian version was better IMHO.
-
It was this one: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/We_%28novel%29 - interesting early Soviet dystopia.

Where do you go shopping for DRM-free ePub !Books? Maybe for !selfpub literature? Intend to buy a cheap !book reader.

@mjjzf And a brilliant way indeed

Anyone read the !book The Midnight Palace by Zafon? Liked his other !books & wanted to get this one. It's under Young Adult - how YA is it?
-
@jonkulp Angel's Game is interesting, too - it is quite dark compared to Shadow of the Wind.

!Reading Tibor Fischer: Good to be God. A salesman concludes he is a fraud anyway and decides to join a church and become God. Funky !book.

Seems my Kunzru !book was completely covered on !OpenLibrary, so expanded Pahlaniuk's 'Pygmy' and Pamuk's 'The New Life' instead.
-
Read the !book Transmission by Hari Kunzru. Sort of like Slumdog Millionaire for hackers. Well-written. Now, to expand it on !OpenLibrary.

There is actually no longer a !book store at the !Danish central railway station in Copenhagen. Culture - first recline, then decline.
