Roadside Picnic

[John Bailey]

I've finally been spending a few days with the Strugatsky Brothers'
Roadside Picnic - I'm pretty sure it was on the P-list that I first
read several recommendations. It's such a great book! Buy it! Or there
seems to be a pdf floating around online if screen reads are more your
caper.

Was also the basis for Tarkovsky's Stalker which I saw maybe 20 years
ago and which altered my consciousness quite profoundly. The (slim)
book is quite different but man, both are things I can highly
recommend. Stalker should be seen in a cinema if possible, though, and
DEFINITELY in one sitting.
