I allways promote Stanisław Lem, mainly Solaris.
Quick explanation: small group of scientists trying to study a possibly-intelligent ocean (called Solaris).
Why I like it: the worldbuilding is done by providing basic facts about Solaris, plus a lot of Solaristic theories, which creates space for your imagination and new theories. The interactions between humans are realistic and have meaningful dynamics. Every character has their unique perspective and I find it worthy of re-reading from that perspective. And it's also quite short.

I've also read some other Lem's books, but while they aren't bad, I don't find them as excellent as Solaris, maybe with exception of Fables for Robots, The Cyberiad and Memairs found in a Bathtub.

The sign of a ball with three rays shall be repulsive for thee, thou shalt not enter any shelter nor edifice with the sign of a ball with three rays, nor destroy spoken buildings.

And to react to @[email protected] I would probably be able to write some primitive method of computing the logarithms.

I've allways wanted to have a floral name.

I wish the same.
On the other hand, if that upvotes are honest, it's weird we got more people from there than from e.g. India.

Sorry, I found it in my feed and didn't check the sub.

Last dream I remember (I don't write them down these days, so only the nice ones remain) was about common kingfishers in the size of pidgeons. They just flew towards me, shine in the sun, and flew away; one by one.

Thank you, as for the explanation as for the bot.

I think it may be a reaction to present Denmark's efforts to ban burning of qurans. (They would also ban burning of bibles, but the main reason are qurans.) However, the meme is wrong in many ways.
