Read this several years ago and felt like I retained nothing. Wolfe has such a disarming style of writing that it feels like the words make more sense on the page than in my head. after reading the foreword I feel a lot less discouraged and aim to take my time on this reread and start piecing things together.

Severian still pisses me off but I think I will understand him a little more this time.
