Solaris…

Stanislaw Lem died today. That may not mean a huge amount to you but to uber sci-fi geeks like me he will be remembered as the Polish suthor of the classic Solaris. Saw it forst when I was in my mid-20s (the Andrei Tarkovsky version… went through a bit of a Russian sci-fi phase – even saw his Stalker) then bought a battered paperback version of it and it always stayed with me. Even quite liked the Steven Soderbergh version…

Highly recommend the book if you get the chance to check it out…
