Welcome to Litsy!

I decided to go with just writing in the name of the book, as I found trying to line up the picture of the book very frustrating. There was no 5 🌟 book for February, but The Cyberiad came close at 4.5. If it had been a bit shorter and a little less repetitive, it would have hit 5 for sure. Looking forward to the new Scalzi book for March.

17/100 Until now, I've only read one book by Lem, Tales of Pirx The Pilot, and it was kind of mundane. He made being a spaceship pilot as exciting as driving a bus. Anyway, that did not prepare for this book, which is very funny. Trurl and Klapaucius are constructors, who get into many misadventures because their machines often have very unexpected consequences. The format is like short stories, but they build on each other, into absurd ⬇️⬇️

One day Trurl the constructor put together a machine that could create anything starting with N.

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
