OH MY GOODness- I “discovered” the book because I was “working through” films by the director. I LOVED “Stalker”>> totally creepy and cool without explaining everything. But I loved the “Roadside Picnic” after I ran down a copy of it. Much more polticially, socially biting (and funny at the same time). I believe folks should do both! film & novel!
and I totally disagree about “Blade Runner” and Android Sheep Dreaming…- here it is clear that the movie (while keeping in the spirit of the story) is a great,great improvement over the story!
Thanks for the heads up about the community blog project and another novel- I will check them both out.
