No apologies necessary for mentioning Byron's site
(http://user.fundy.net/leemale/ilkoids.htm) again, his ilkoids-list is
well-chosen. You'll will find many names on that list that I read in the
recent posts. My recommodations were Victor Pelevin's *Omon Ra* and the
literature of the Strugatzkys (*Roadside Picnic*, *The Far Rainbow*).
