Think you'll stick with it? Honestly each book gets better and delves more deeply than you'd expect from a supposed "children's" book. I do. They've confirmed that they're keeping all the details of the authority, the church and the like in. I've high hopes for it for sure. I want to watch the film just to see what exactly they did with it. |
ha ha ha, T.S. Eliot was such a scumbag lol

Finshed The Sword of the Lictor (Gene Wolfe)
Review up https://rxttbooks.blogspot.com/2019/...g-with-my.html |
Finished The Golden Compass and I’m about ¾ through the sequel, The Subtle Knife, which is weird as hell.

ROB:
Nice review (apart from some weird punctuation, but my brain is trained for AP at this point so whatever). I’m SO GLAD you’re enjoying it, and you’re really honing in on what makes (made :( ) Wolfe such an effective writer — his ability to such the reader in and create an experience that mimics that of actual life through the profession of the story. Kind of meta-narrative. Love it. Haven’t read your Claw review yet, but will. Just saw Sword of the Lictor. Glad you’re seeing this through! If you finish the four main books, you’ll only be the second person I “know” to have done so. (BOT Long Sun is an *excellent* but utterly different semi-sequel if you crave more when your done with BOT New Sun) |
Finished "Putting the Science in Science Fiction" for more accurate sci-fi writing.
Still very slowly working on IT, started "The Time Machine" as well and sometime soon-ish, "Aliens: Steel Egg". |

Yes indeed. As you originally stated, the BOTNS is like a mindworm, and once it is in your head, it seems as real, if not more real, than the day to day around me. cool. stuff. |
