I've been meaning to re-read it, I was very underwhelmed the first time.i finished "catcher in the rye" by jd salinger yesterday. it was ok but i didn't think it was very spectacular read
Finished that a while ago, really liked it even though it wouldn't be a type of book i'd normally read.Reading the Blind Assassin by Margaret Atwood. Hundred odd pages in and it's great do far.
is it really that good, i need a series to become obsessed with but was told its more sifi then fantasy.
Thanks, I was going to give fantasy a rest for a while after struggling to finish George R. R. Martin's feast for crows (it was good enough just not very absorbing) but this sounds too good to resist, I'll pick it up today so.It's amazing. Not a series though, just two books or one book if you get the volume containing both.
There's very little that's sci-fi about, it's a total fantasy world. The style it's done in though is very different from the majority of fantasy, as with all of Gene Wolfe's stuff really.
When I think about it, it occurs to me that maybe you are thinking of the Book of the New Sun series? Because that very much toes the line between fantasy and sci-fi and is also a proper series of books as well.
Anyway they're both brilliant, I prefer the Wizard Knight though for the pure joy of reading it, it's beautifully written.

, b,
started this yesterday. Only 20 pages in and I'm already hooked!
It's deadly! Some sections are far more satisfying than others, but ultimately, its great.
Read a couple of hundred pages of the road today.
Bleak.
Finished this today, I was talking to someone about it last night and she said that I'd either find the ending to be hugely uplifting or a continuation of the unrelenting bleakness that goes through the whole book.
I'm in the latter camp. Were it not for the brilliance of the prose it'd have been very difficult to get through.
