Books, the "Oh hell, what time is it now?" edition
Books 2008: 103
103. Elizabeth Bear, Hell and Earth.
Um. It turns out I was in a humour for some good fiction after all. To the extent that I had an oh, hell, it's after half past two in the morning, isn't it? moment when I finished this one just now.
Back when I finished Ink and Steel, I think I said something along the lines of: I admire the hell out of this book. Same goes for Hell and Earth.
I could lavish superlatives, but I always get embarrassed doing that. I'll just say that it's probably - taking I&S and H&E to be one book - the most excellent single work of fiction I've read all year. On several levels.
Not really able to articulate much right at the moment, due in part to the aforementioned book and in part to the aforemention nearly three am issue.
So, yeah. I think I'm going to go try to sleep now.
