I've been straddling, these past few weeks, what may or may not be the threat of a reading slump. So, what better way to stave that off by reading a 1200-page alternate history, sci-fi novel about epistemology, math, physics, and a million other things?
Erm.
The set-up and writing style alone is enthralling. As if Victor Hugo, Dostoevsky, and Lem are in conversation with Wittgenstein.
May be with this one awhile.

The slump hits hardest in the form of multiple days gone by without a sliver of reading. But when I do pick this up: ravishing, even if the pacing is fiercely glacial.
