Poland - Solaris - Stanislaw Lem

Stanislaw Lem is a pretty big hitter amongst the Sci-Fi writers, but someone I'd never read before, so i was pretty happy to get this book off  the 'to be read' book pile and on the completed bookshelves. The book was pretty weird and dark and thought provoking, but i just found it really dry. So many chapters of pure description and very little plot just dragged and didn't draw me in.

The whole concept and philosophy of the book was great though. I think this may highlight my tendency towards more modern and contemporary sci-fi rather than the golden age of sci-fi and those authors and books who are considered 'classic'. Anyway, it has been read and enjoyed, I may go back to Lem for a different book.
