I am enjoying this book but also finding it slow going. This is not a surprise.
Reviews and Comments
I read largely science fiction and comics with some non-fiction mixed in. I'm warming up to mystery with Bosch and the Slow Horses books.

Dave Slusher - Books reviewed Elric of Melniboné by Michael Moorcock (The Elric Saga, #01)
Review of 'Elric of Melniboné' on 'Goodreads'
5 stars
This is the first book in a project to read as much of the Eternal Champion saga as I can. Some is a reread but much of it I have never read.
This is really my kind of sword and sorcerery. Brooding, tragic anti-hero; weird landscapes and artifacts; escalating deals with devils. I dig it all and was pleasantly surprised how much I enjoyed this book I hadn't touched in 40 years.

Dave Slusher - Books reviewed High-Rise by J. G. Ballard
Review of 'High-rise' on 'Goodreads'
5 stars
Disturbing as is all the best of Ballard. He hides the horror of societal decay and dysfunction inside beautiful prose. I was impressed with how he maintained the even but relentless pace of breakdown.
I would not quite put it at the high water mark of Crash but it is in the neighborhood.
