Excellent presentation of Chambers' classic.
Hite really outdid himself with the annotations, which only add layers of enjoyment where it would be easy to skim over, especially the details of Paris during that era.

The cult-classic by Stanislaw Lem that spawned the movie is now available for your Kindle! …
A longer and meandering science fiction classic. Full of big ideas, and a clear predecessor to modern masters Jeff VanderMeer and Ted Chiang.
NOT a great book if you're looking to get through a large number of books in a year, but a GREAT book if you want to sit with it and slowly enjoy it like a fine whisky.

Sequel to the wildly popular Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance. Pirsig expands on …
It is a book that I will remember for a long time.
I have read another book by Robert M. Pirsig when I was about 19 years old by chance - it was left in the book exchange in the hostel I was working at - I had no idea what Zen was and some idea about what a motorcycle was. The understanding on how motorcycle works is not progressed till this time.
Lila: an inquiry into morals is continuation though set and patterns that was captivating and refreshing while I was reading it and will stay with me for some time for sure.

Interesting sequel to "Dune". It's much more political than war drama, picking up 12 years after its predecessor.
I enjoyed the contrast to the adventure and fighting in the last one (It certainly subverts expectations!), and I'm interested in seeing where this story heads next.
