    Alright, I haven’t quite caught up to this chapter yet (work has been hellish this week, on chapter 39), but I just wanted to pop in here after seeing the discussion brought up Book of the New Sun. I really liked the series, and I think about it a lot at random times when it just pops into my head. Behind the Foundation series, it is probably my favorite sci-fi work out there.

      Always nice to run across another fan.

      It’s easily one of my favorite works of literature. I think it’s absolutely brilliant. I’ve read through the whole series at least half a dozen times now, and still discover (or figure out) new things every time.

      And I could go on at great length about it, but I’ll refrain.

      On another note, I’ve been threatening off and on to reread Foundation, since I read it the first (and only) time about 30 years ago, and pretty much all I remember is the broad outline and that it impressed the hell out of me then. But for whatever reason, I never remember it when I’m casting about for the next book to read.

      And right at the moment, I’m casting about for the next book to read, so thanks for the reminder.
