six four is a new favorite of mine. got me back into reading. great twist. slow moving and every 5 or so chapters the mc takes a break to review all the info. it holds your hand but in a good way, which i liked because god damn there are a lot of fucking characters with similar names.

i know someone on here doesnt like to each his own but i like it. twist isnt really anything but it is a good read. read the introduction in the nyrb
