I liked this, he's an easy style of telling you stories that "happened to him", "First Person Singular", easy to read, and always with a little twist.

I'm not a fan, particularly, of his style of writing, and this took a bit of getting into, but there's some intriguing ideas in it well tied together. He's a feverish imagination, and he grooms you to accept his fantastical narrative by providing you numerous rabbit holes (conspiracies, forteana, etc) to research and verify first.
I can see why he has a cult following. Good.

Maybe if I were a brooding 20 year old college student with black lipstick. But I'm not and so this rather sadly disappointed. All novels have their time and place - and this one missed it.

I liked this. He does a fine job of blending history, fact and fiction in a manner that makes you suspend all disbelief. He finds the heartstrings of reality...

This was a fortuitous discovery on the way back from the reunion - Kingfisher Books in Creston.
A congenial owner and fine selection of classics and vintage books in a cafe styled setting. I stocked up on winter reading, titles included:
- The Four Chambered Heart - Anais Nin
- The Wisdom of the Heart - Henry Miller
- Fantastic Fables - Ambrose Bierce
- Lectures on Don Quixote - Nabokov
++ The Master and Margarita and a poor translation of Choderlos de Laclos's "Dangerous Liasons". These last two I am perpetually recommending, thus to find them means I have something to pass on to other readers - when I meet them.
