    Very interesting, thanks for the recommendation.

    But the first thing I noticed, when looking at the Amazon page, was that Hugh Howey's endorsement misspelled "hull breach." Ah well.

    I hear you there. I tried reading Lenin's Tomb not long after it came out, and managed to get about a third of the way through. If that.

    I've read Lermontov, I've read Zamyatin, I've read Ivan Denisovich, but Lenin's Tomb really did feel like a stone vault fell over on me.

    Hmm. I just tried looking for a used copy on Amazon.de, and I think I see your conundrum.

    Well, that's the @$&%#!! Mid-Atlantic Rift for you. Ever since that thing opened up it's been hassle, hassle, hassle.
