You should read The City & the City, by China Miéville. He's from your side of the pond. The book won the Hugo, Arthur C. Clark, and British Science Fiction Association awards for Best Novel, 2010.

This is my Thank You for your link to Eliza Doolittle.

Much obliged Spoonless. I'll definitely check it out when I get some spare fundage. Found a copy for £4 on Amazon, so I'll order it on Wednesday.

It looks to me like it's got some excellent reviews.

Oh ok, nevermind. I was thinking of Rog's dad.


Also, why is "nevermaind" incorrect?

Really the fact that that post wasn't edited is a bigger problem than forgetting a space.

I read The City & the City last year. I'm usually terribly disappointed by the Science Fiction/Fantasy sections at bookstores. It's usually a bunch of swords and unicorns books and then Warhammer and Star Wars, and that's about it. I saw Miéville's book in the new releases, and the jacket was encouraging, so I bought it on a whim. Excellent, excellent book.

I'm reading his newest book, Kraken. It's kind of a dark comedy. I'm about 25% through it so far, and it's great. However, I think that The City & the City best displays his writing prowess. It's a great example of noir fiction.
