Reviewing the Strugatskys; Roadside Picnic and Monday Starts on Saturday I like talking about older Science Fiction, but I haven't had a chance to do so in a while. So let's talk about Arkady and Boris Strugatsky, Soviet/Russian brothers who wrote dozens of science fiction stories together. They were - according to the Encyclopedia of Science Fiction quote on my copy of Monday Starts on Saturday - the best Soviet SF writers.

Been reading some classic science fiction by Arkady and Boris Strugatsky. #RoadsidePicnic and #MondayStartsonSaturday are both amazing, check out my review.
