Forum: Books and Stories

I finished City and the City by China Mieville(sp?) about a week ago, now and it was really good! I think it’s a really interesting concept that he successfully pulls off and makes for a really engaging and fun read that skillfully handles such a complicated and confusing setting. Has anyone else read this book? Any recommendations for new ones?

that's actually so funny, i have owned perdido street station for years and haven't gotten past the third chapter every time i've picked it up. 

i started reading the city and the city to inspire me to perhaps actually finish perdido, and it was good! i don't know if it worked though...i haven't thought abt reading it since i finished the city and the city
