/lit/ - Literature

This book is the best literary book on magic I've ever read. It's a novel and not exactly practical information on performing magic but I'll be damned if any work gets across what real magic is supposed to be better than this and even if it does it certainly doesn't come even close to how beautiful this book does it.

I don't think I've ever seen these books mentioned on /lit/, let alone read and discussed. Would be nice to talk about them though.

What does /lit/ think of this quote from "The Sorcerer's Apprentice" by Francois Augieras
>"The idea precedes everything, the rest is only attentive patience, weaving, a game of shuttles; for it is the man of the night who invents, the man of the morning is nothing but a scribe"

I've never seen this author mentioned anywhere ever but I just finished this book and found it amazing. It's real, classic magic in every sense of the word. This quote in particular stuck with me as beautiful (although yes this is in translation)
