Hey Mr Curren. I didn't see where you revealed your latest read. Note that you are one of the few to whom I'd recommend the M. John Harrison. Weirder than the New Weird, I'd say.

A perfect Halloween book. Ultimately post apocalyptic. The arrival of aliens has stolen reality. Events are dreamlike or mad and just as rational. An abstract painting, readers can hang their own meanings on meaningless comings and goings, random murders and attempts by characters to explain it all.

Hi everybody. I just finished The End of Everything by M. John Harrison.

A History of the Florentine People written by Leonardo Bruni in the 1400s. It describes 200 years of carnage among the Tuscan towns with barely a month going by without Florence attacking Siena, Luca attacking Pisa, or the Holy Roman Empire attacking Papal forces. It makes the Iliad look irenic.

Still on Watership Down. Surprised how little I remember; guess I didn't reread this before? So 1st time through since 1979 I guess. Still good though!
