The Cyberiad: Stories by Stanisław Lem

DID NOT FINISH: 15%

This is a great book that I'm just not in the mood for. The satire is very on-point and the wordplay is excellent. It's amazing that this translated work stands toe-to-toe with native English writers like Douglas Adams. That said, the jokes are very silly and at times a bit one-note. And I'm really not big on short stories/vignettes as this book starts out. But, if that's what you're looking for this is a really excellent work.
