RE: What are you reading right now?

"Roadside Picknick" might be the easiest for starters, as the others can get quite bizarre (and with bizarre I mean the Hunter Thompson kind.) and are also often commenting on political/society problems of their respective publication time.

Done Roadside Picnic, that was an incredible novel for sure, never read any of their other stuff though, if you can recommend any then please do! I got a new translation of it recently that includes some great stories from Boris (iirc) about the troubles they went through trying to get it published, and a great foreword by Ursula le Guin

I've thought that there's a lot of great ideas in Roadside Picnic that would work well in a game that are not covered sufficiently or not at all in the STALKER games, as great as they are. At some point I hope to try out exploring the various mechanics that would be involved in creating the anomalies & artifacts, to try and get a system that would allow for some emergence in the exploration & problem solving. Something along the lines of Spelunky could work really well I think! Or fail horribly, it'll be fun finding out either way Tongue

Out of interest, have you seen the film Stalker by Andrei Tarkovsky? He also did a film of Solaris, both of which stray pretty heavily from the source material but I think manage to create a great thing of their own, though I'm sure there are some loyalists who wouldn't appreciate the adaptation
