Fiction Books Thread

Patrick Rothfuss' The Slow Regard of Silent Things, describing the inner and outer world of Aur is written as beautifully as the two previous novels, maybe even more so. I highly recommend the audiobook, read by the author, as the book just screams to be read aloud, like poetry, which it basically is.

I wonder if there are any reviews of the book by psychiatrists (maybe SSC will get around to it, once done bashing NRx and social justice?). Auri seems to have schizo, bipolar and OCD, all seeming sensible and natural from her own point of view.

  • A Clockwork Orange, Burgess
  • Lud-in-the-Mist, Mirrlees
  • The Far Side Gallery 3 (I think I liked them better as a kid; re-reading, I realize Larson really only had a few jokes & characters which he permuted endlessly. It doesn't grow up with you as much as some others like Calvin & Hobbes do.)
