I have finally finished An Instance of the Fingerpost, and am sort of sad there’s no more even though I have an interminable stack of other great books in my queue.

Have you read The Dream of Scipion? More heavy handed but still also great, and Sadly Timely (tm)

Man what a great book. I wonder if that is the case most or all of the time when someone who normally writes 180-page procedurals comes out with one 450-page novel in their career.

Love that book, bought it in the 90s then it got packed and forgotten then I found it a few years ago which worked out as back the I knew none of that history Just an amazing piece of work.
