Sure yeah this was good! I started feeling disappointed realizing the book would have more "Bohemia" than  "Spaceman" but I came out appreciating all the Czech history.  The spider is a magnificent character that I will not forget.  I found the first half enjoyable and the second half a mix of moderate highs and deep lows, but I appreciate the ride it took me on.   There is philosophizing throughout which borders on didactic, but it lands on the tasty side of food-for-thought existentialism.
