As for the Merritt, I listed that one not because I read/enjoyed it but because I hadn't read it and had heard some praise it before.Larry Nolenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16001420558511460998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8068873.post-43484986193888886552011-01-10T15:55:57.096-06:002011-01-10T15:55:57.096-06:00As it happens, I have both Cisco's The Narrato...As it happens, I have both Cisco's <em>The Narrator</em> and <em>The Traitor</em> on order: I was thinking of doing a write up of one of them at some point (probably the latter, but I'll see).<br /><br />I also have the Meyrinck and Calvino on the shelves to be read at some point... I'll maybe bump the <em>The Golem</em> up the pile a little and tackle that one. I did do <em>The Castle of Crossed Destinies</em> a wee while back, though I enjoyed it and found it interesting, didn't quite like it so much as the first thing I'd read by him (<em>If on a Winter's Night A Traveller</em>).<br /><br />Ta,<br /><br />RichardAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8068873.post-26933882830568311322011-01-10T14:48:11.190-06:002011-01-10T14:48:11.190-06:00I am ~70% through the Aegypt books right now and a...I am ~70% through the <i>Aegypt</i> books right now and amazed.
