In Reply to: Tarkovsky’s “Stalker” has even less in common with Strugatsky’s one than his “Solaris” with Lem’s posted by DA on November 08, 2002 at 09:04:30:

I don't think I ever finished any of their novels, so I'll take your word. I always concidered them super-intellectual cult kaka nor worthy any serious attention. But their popularity was staggering.

Much like the Arthur Hailey's "Airport". You had to wait in like for months to get to read it. Both my wife and I were bevildered when it was finally was our turn. But some Russian "intellectuals" would argue hotly.

Someone gave my wife the Strugatsky book recently, saying: "You missed it all, try it this time seriously". She tried. She simply can't read that stuff.
