Just finished The City and the City by Mieville IndigoAjah Send a noteboard - 04/07/2011 05:59:45 PM
One of the most rewarding books I've read in a while, with some great concepts, writing and a fantastic setting- a great mix of Crime and Punishment and a little of Neverwhere and maybe a few other books. I also have one of Robin Hobb's books which I decided I ought to read. Something about dragons (just looked it up, the Dragon's Keeper. So far so good!). And the Man in his High Castle by Dick. And when it's out, A Dance with Dragons by GRRM
Does the Devil ever struggle to be good again, or if so is he not a devil?

What difference does it make after all? Anonymity in the world of men is better than fame in heaven, for what's heaven? What's Earth? All in the mind.
