Slowly reading this in the background of other books ; and am constantly amazed at how rich and deep the prose is. I like it even more than volume 1 , which I loved. I’ll prioritize it soon.

Picked this up again, after setting it aside for a few months. I’m startled by how rich it is (though how could I forget?) Might be my go to holiday read, in my current stack.

For whatever reason, I’ve been reading more “long” novels this year — tho I tend to enjoy the novella format best. Juggling this with Solenoid makes a nice contrast. This one is soft and dreamy, while the other is jagged and surreal. Also, fun coincidence — I flipped Solenoid to a random page today and it happened to mention this novel ! Seemed like a sign. These two books will likely dominate my summer.
