Like you with "Confederacy...", my sister gave me her copy of "Still Life with Woodpecker" so I'd have
something to read while visiting her. I got about 10-15 pages in and put it down, wondering if she knew
the slightest thing about me.

Ten years later, I gave it another try and LOVED it (it's still one of my favorites -- Also "Jitterbug Perfume"
and "Skinny Legs and All".)

Do NOT read Brunner. There's an undercurrent of positivity in them, but a huge overlay of despair, too.

Shibumi is my favorite action/adventure novel... and it is GREAT fun (and funny).

The sequel to "Pillars of the Earth", which I expected to be a big disappointment (how could he keep up
THAT level of excellence) continues the story at THAT level of excellence. I believe it's called "World
Without End".
