I'm Russian, so some of the books I read in Russian translation. Of course all Russian books I read in Russian.

    Which books would you recommend for a beginner looking to find his feet in Go?

    These books on Go seems good. I don't know the first thing about Go, but would love to. I have wanted to learn ever since I read Kawabata's 'Master of Go'.

    If you loved Neverwhere, I cannot recommend American Gods highly enough. I think it is Gaiman's finest novel. Once you've finished, Anansi Boys is a pretty delightful follow-up: they're connected.

    Looking through some more of the things you read, such as Carlos Casteneda, I think you should definetly read Speaker for the dead/xenocide/etc. Those books are very much in league with your other kinds of books, but as I've said, less so than with other mainstream science fiction.

    I enjoyed going through your shelf. We seem to have some books in common. And I see that you have read Lem. He's one guy I've wanted to read for a long time. But can't get any of his books here in India :(

    You asked about Albert Camus, yes I recommend his writing. He is known for his work in existentialism and the absurd philosophy. These books really start you to thinking. I read them when I was young, in high school, and still continue to re-read them.

    I just saw (on Gashlycrumb's page) you're going to check out Perdido Street Station. Based on some of your other books, I'm fairly sure you're going to love it. It's absolutely brilliant.

    "Perdido Street Station" was the first book I've read by Mieville. Then I read "Scar" which was also wonderful in a different way. Jeff VanderMeer's "Veniss Underground" is surreal, bizarre, full of strange characters and takes place in a decadent urban environment that reminds me of Mieville's work.
    Thanks for accepting me as a friend and hope you enjoy the books :)

    Ah, you will never find a Harry Potter book on my shelf. As much as I love fantasy novels, I have no desire to read them. I am suspicious of books that are overly popular and have a feeling they are only mediocre. I watched the first movie when it came out and was not at all impressed.
