Seconded on The Book of the New Sun. Ghavrel Send a noteboard - 24/01/2010 03:35:56 AM
The only reason I'm not saying anything about Latro is that I haven't read it yet.

EDIT: There seems something perversely wrong with pluralizing "omnibus" as "omnibi." I think it has to do with how we use a dative plural noun as a singular.
"We feel safe when we read what we recognise, what does not challenge our way of thinking.... a steady acceptance of pre-arranged patterns leads to the inability to question what we are told."
