No, not the one the birthers inhabit.
I'm on a fantasy novel kick, it appears. I've just read the first two books of The Merchant Princes, Charlie Stross's sextet of multiple universes. I'm waiting for the next two to become available at my library. Meanwhile, in reading about the series I kept running across phrases like "Stross's series is an homage to Roger Zelazny's Amber books." (Caution: that link has spoilers throughout!) Somehow in all my years of reading speculative fiction I missed those, so I found a copy of The Great Book of Amber at my library and am now deep into that.
I'll advise when I surface.
Posted by Linkmeister at August 1, 2009 11:54 AM | TrackBackI read "The Jennifer Morgue" by Charles Strauss because Paul Krugman recommended it. It was, for me, a tough read. I had to plow my way through parts of it. And yet, I find that I want to read more.
So I have a question for you. Should I read them in order or just get them as I can find them?
Hope you enjoy the Amber books. I think I've read almost all of them and always like Zelazny's books.
