Monday Starts on Saturday (by the Strugatskii brothers) A programmer on a road trip through Siberia picks up two hitchhikers, who recruit him for the ideal job: to take over the computation center at the research institute of enchantment and applied magic. Fantasy sets the mood, but the book is really about people who love what they do because it's challenging and meaningful and fun. One of my unfinished projects is translating it to English.
