Without them I would be worse: 120 favorite books of Boris Strugatsky Bashny.Net

Boris Strugatsky: "the Idea of the compilation of this list does not belong to me. I was asked, and I, on reflection, agreed. With pleasure.

Not all in a row. And not even the most respected. Not necessarily those to whom I bow my head in obeisance. But definitely the most favorite. Stood the test of time. Past with thee through all the vicissitudes of life and surviving on the shelf — now forever, to the very end, when we don't have time to read again. In the fifth. In the seventh. In the tenth.

We offer you a list of absolutely, if you will, defiantly subjective. No profound justification. Any reference to the historical significance and role in the world culture. Only love, gratitude, memory.

And the Frank admission that without these books I would be different. Moreover, without them I would be worse.

On my shelves is still a lot of wonderful and even great, sincerely read and even re-read, but I have no to them the tenderness, the gratitude for life and for life.

And strictly speaking, this is not a recommendation list. I don't recommend. I just invite readers to those books that are particularly fond of myself.

Generally speaking, I'm in the library hold only those books which I read at least twice (with very few exceptions). Now, the lists were those that I read at least three times. Let the interested reader make the above your own conclusions."
