The early books are great, pity the series went downhill later on. That's a very good one. Yes. I liked this one too. But I'm planning on continuing but with lower expectations. Thanks.

I had no idea she had a new book out, I figured her as being a one book author after all this time. Is it in the same league as Strange & Norrel?

The reason it took so long was that she has been very ill and unable to work. The book is great and imaginative in the same way but a different beast entirely, a study of loneliness more than anything. I sound vague but would give too much away if I'm not careful. The main character lives in a world where everything is contained within vast rooms and seas roar up and down stairs and birds dwell in the upper halls. Probably about 300 pages only and well worth a read.

The Invisible Man by HG Wells. This is my third Wells after the Time Machine and Dr. Moreau-I have read them before-years ago. What a genius for coming up with unique science fiction ideas. And developed quite a bit--with good description of things like a shirt with no head attached to it.

I just read a Darth Vader comic series set between Empire and Jedi. It was alright. Half of it was flashbacks, though.
