Just finished Engine Summer. Probably one of the best books I've read all year and quite original for a post apocalyptic setting. It reminded me of everything memorable about Gene Wolfe, though it might be too hippie for some and lacked so many references or most echoes of a reference you'd find in a Wolfe short story. It's also a puzzle but with so much more.
The third part was truly heart breaking, confusing as some bad salvia trip, and all the little clues coming together with that insane reveal by the end.

Has anyone read Ka? I'm going to check other John Crowley books. Little Big was great, but this one felt less ethereal, which is the kind of books I can read without tiring.
