I really wish there'd be a new English translation of it

46 out of 54 respondents haven't read it, and it's one of those rare sci-fi/fantasy books that actually have depth. Of course, the Quickpoll just reinforces my previously stated beliefs about reading habits.
You know that the current edition is translated from the French translation of the Polish original, right? I think that might have contributed to the sense I had at times that the story was a bit stilted in its presentation.

Why not add Solaris as an option for the January book club for Sci-fi/Fantasy?

That's not a bad idea as there are only 4 options instead of 5.

It's been on my list for a while so I wouldn't mind it winning at all. *NM*

I read it in Russian. I expect the translation was smooth and effortless from Polish.

Sure, why not. I've read that one at least. Though it sounds like I should read it in French... *NM*
