March: We Are Legion (We Are Bob) (Bobiverse #1) by Dennis Taylor

Discuss The Moon Is a Harsh Mistress by Robert A. Heinlein in the comments below.

Fiasco was translated into English in 1988 by Michael Kandel:

Fiasco (Polish: Fiasko) is a science fiction novel by Polish author Stanisław Lem, first published in a German translation in 1986. The book, published in Poland the following year, is a further elaboration of Lem's skepticism: in Lem's opinion, the difficulty in communication with alien civilizations is cultural disparity rather than spatial distance. The failure to communicate with an alien civilization is the main theme of the book.

    I agree. No pictures, no tentacles, too many words.

    "too many words."

    The timeless echo of your words, from the illiterate. Whose words are notorious for their inability to echo.

    Sorry, my brother in shitty fate. It sounds like you just don't want to read.

    That door over there. The one that says 'ladies.' There you go. Don't come back. Sayonara, see ya nara!

    Luv ya. C ya!

    ;)

    Translation: I am an illiterate Soylentil, a younger Runaway1956, and I cannot read. Please respect my and TMB's opinions, because our opinions are equally valid as those of people who actually can read; and think; and understand stuff. Peach out, dudes!

      Alternative translation: I'm making a joke, but didn't think of Poe's law.
