no i was not surprised but the rainbow was at the end of Chapaev's story also, did Pelevin believe in this? And about Che- he seems to be a romantic personage from the culture of 70th (generation P?))))
Did anyone here read Larni's books? i was amazed a bit - famous sisu in work

All books of Terry Pratchett! Really great author. My favorite title is: Reaper man, but all the others are also great!

George Orwell, Roald Dahl (I loved his books as a piwi!!) and Tolkien. Aside from that, I don't read much fiction.

(should we REALLY be eating phosphate? ) Er, no. You think that's bad, you should see what they tell you to put on your hair and skin. One of the main ingredients of shampoo and liquid soap is an industrial engine degreaser.... Sorry, this is one of my 'soap box' things....

There's really no way to avoid these lovely additives... Unless you don't mind living like a cave-troll, which is tempting at times!
