Well that took long enough. Finally finished this and really enjoyed it. Should I go for Book of the Long Sun or naw?Honky Kong 64 wrote: ↑Thu Nov 20, 2014 9:43 amNot yet but I need to finish. It's been calling me.Necrometer wrote:Citadel of the Autarch 7/10 And now I'm done with Gene Wolfe's Book of the New Sun. I guess I never even rated Claw of the Cociliator? It was probably a 7 as well. Despite this series never really blowing my mind or adding up to much more than the sum of parts, it was consistently enjoyable & classy and I routinely found myself missing that world whenever I had been away from it for a while. Recommended that febtus dust the first book off, at least. Honky - you done yet?

I'm almost done with Camus' Myth of Sisyphus, via audiobook. I'm not always totally paying attention to it, and it has the weird day-to-day effect of essentially outsourcing the background churning of existential crisis to a narrator's voice in my head (instead of via my own thoughts). I'll probably listen again at some point. it's comforting and horrifying! 10/0

We might actually agree on something? I thought it was his best work. The only book of his I found somewhat weak was Rules Of Attraction. I haven’t read “White” yet.
