Finished this today. Really wonderful book- fascinating and funny history of magic- highly recommended

Quite. Pretty sure you’re not supposed to be able to figure it out. It’s fucking mental.

Superb book.

That is the conclusion I reached. I love books like this that leave the reader with such questions.

Just finished “Substance - The New Order Story” by Peter Hook.

Excellent read. He doesn’t pull any punches.

Probably going to order this:

Finally mustered the courage to finish the Denial of Death by Ernest Becker-having eked it out over a few months, the minute I finished it I wanted to start over and read it again.

Enjoy Neil - Fourth Mansions is quite a read :+1:

Enjoyed Book One, so…

Check this cover for Fourth Mansions!

Really enjoying it- reminds me of The Third Policeman, can clearly see the influence on Neil Gaiman as well
