Thanks for nominating another Lem book! Solaris is a hell of a thing. I've only ever read the older English edition, which was translated from Polish to French, and then to English. Apparently there's a new ebook edition that's translated directly from Polish to English. I haven't read it yet, but I'm dead keen to see what they've done with it. A second-hand translation has to be better than a third-hand translation.
