One of my absolutely favourite authors gets flak sometimes for his tangents. I adore his tangents. I'll recommend him but I understand when people can't get into his stuff. I refer to Neal Stephenson.Bonniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02408521023378422011noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2606966482124850303.post-81359283247024746922012-12-05T00:11:23.354-06:002012-12-05T00:11:23.354-06:00I like Oryx and Crake too.

Oryx and Crake is brilliant, and i also loved the sequel. But even more of a treat is The Magician's Assistant - the most gorgeous story and so exquisitely written.
