How was it? I just finished Eden last week by Lem and really liked it. But Solaris is also my least favorite Tarkovsky film, so I am torn as to try it.

I wasn’t really a fan at all. His prose is okay when he isn’t going on philosophical tangents, but not good enough to make the subject and characters Interesting.

Last book I finished:
>The Devil all the Time - Donald Ray Pollock

Pretty good little book. I enjoyed all the characters stories, and the bouncing back and forth between them. It was a comfortable read.

>>14919663
>The Fisherman - John Langan
>The Croning - Laird Barron
>The Boys from Brazil - Ira Levin

Which should I read first?
