Sorry for jumping into a slightly wrong thread... BUT... basically, it's just a calling of the soul

I'm happy for you! And how do you distinguish "the right" thread from "the wrong" one... Here, all threads are for everyone and anyone can jump into any of them on equal grounds... :)

As for books, I regret that I don't have much time now to read while being "head over heels" immersed in my favorite books... And the abundance of books on the market is sometimes confusing, because there has become so much "spam" under a beautiful cover... :) But Krapivin—now that's a Yes! He has many works—I saw a link to a collected works online, there were definitely about thirty volumes... Now "Exmo" is publishing him in the series "Founding Fathers: Russian Space"—22 volumes have already been released...

I read them a very long time ago, and only "The Pigeon Loft" stuck with me... It was probably the first work I read, or something... What were the "others" called there, do you remember? — "Those who command"...
Don't you find that associative? :D
