Not sure what I expected from this novel, but I'm enjoying it a lot. May even finish reading it in just one day.

I'm roughly half-way through and wow, this book is still as good as it is disturbing. #scifi #sciencefiction #thesparrow

DivaDiane Yes, disturbing is a good word. Wait till you get to the end. 🙈I adored this book. I hope to reread it one day! 7y

The Cyberiad | Stanislaw Lem

I've finally finished this book and wow, I'm blown away and lost in thoughts. The humour is amazing, although complex at times, and the adventures of Trurl and Klaupacius are utterly fascinating. I'm sure I'll gave to read it more than once in order to fully comprehend the jokes, but it is worth it!

I'm still reading Stanislaw Lem's 'The Cyberiad' and I'm enjoying every second of it. That's why I take my time, I don't want it to be over too soon. This quote in particular made me laugh out loud.#scifi #humor #sciencefiction #stanislawlem

DivaDiane Haha! 😂 7y

Tehanu: Book Four | Ursula K. Le Guin

After having worked and then played with our new kittens, the rest of my sunday will be focused on Le Guin's 4th Earthsea book. I LOVED the first three and although I'm just 50 pages in, I'm also loving Tehanu!

I've been looking for this russian illustrated translation of the hobbit for so long so when I found it for a reasonable price on ebay I had to get it.
The paper quality isnt the best so I think I wont use this edition for reading. I want to improve my russian but I dont want to ruin this gem.
