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?
Not yet but I need to finish. It's been calling me.
Well that took long enough. Finally finished this and really enjoyed it. Should I go for Book of the Long Sun or naw?

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.
