I have to say that it was a great read, even better than Buddha's Little Finger. Will write a review later this week on the OF Blog, then probably copy/paste it here (I also have the daily Borges commentaries as well as a review of Bret Easton Ellis' newest book, Imperial Bedrooms to write this week). I found the pop-Buddhist elements to be done better in the latter book and I certainly will be looking for his other works...and then, once I get around to becoming reading fluent in Serbian first, I'll start learning Russian in earnest to see how well it reads in its native language, as there has to be even more wordplay involved than what the translator was able to render (the translation I should note was excellent).
