I'm trying to read the original Roadside Picnic
My first language is English and I want to learn Russian. Since I love sci-fi, I'm trying to read Roadside Picnic but some words in there I can't find in my English Russian dictionary. I can only comprehend some of it. If you speak Russian and have read this book, help would be appreciated.

Language pair: English; Russian

Well, that's a tough book you choose to read to learn Russian, I'll give you that. :)
- Many fiction words
- Many words and phrases that are rather colloquial. Used for spoken language.
- Plot is not very clear and obvious

Many Russians don't get this book either.
