amid a crowd of stars

Another by David Mitchell… again his command of the subject combined with the nuance of detail make this an immersive experience.

I am unmoved, however, by the cover art.

Benjamin Black aka, John Banville. Stunning writing and characterization.

Vladimir Nabokov. Modern master. I loved it, and I will be reading it again probably within the year.

David Mitchell. Loved it. Recursive function, spinning down into the tale and back out. His facility with language and plot (not to mention the well-wrought details) make this one of the finest books I’ve read in a long time.

Isaac Asimov’s tour de force. Only for the die-hards, of which I do not consider myself one, though I am trying to read some of the sci-fi classics. This one was a labor of love. There are no female characters. Strange.

Fantastic. Now, will I have the courage to read Crash?

Good.

Ugh

Second only to Dune.
