Russian book recommendations What good Russian books can you recommend? Nothing over 100 years old or with a complicated style. The grammar and vocabulary mustn't be too complicated. However I am not interested in children's books. I'm enjoying some of Беляев's novels at the moment so anything similar would be great.

What do пробить and бить mean? What do the verbs пробить and бить mean in a footballing context e.g. Я пробью. Никит, сосредоточься, бей! Бей, давай! Никит, пробей! And what's the difference between the two here? Bonus points if you can throw in a few extra footballing terms. Thank you! :)Thanks for the answers everyone. In English we don't really use the verb kick, but usually pass or score. Are быть and пробыть really as wide meaning as kick? Do you need additional words to specify whether it's a pass or shot? Or are the meanings of the verbs more specific than that?*pass or shoot
