I still think about the crazy parallel world he created, and I work to put the book in the hands of good middle school readers. I'll put this one on my list, too.Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00284081272878168537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1359999156621466745.post-83720407908068211102011-08-11T08:12:06.797-04:002011-08-11T08:12:06.797-04:00Hmmmm.

I'm not sure if I would be worthy to sit across from him and have a chat. But I want more of him.

Also, it makes me think that I should plan to read this one in small bits, which is good to know, especially this time of year (August is the cruelest month for Academic Administrators).Jeannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01374498643286099244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1359999156621466745.post-25624833942539574552011-08-10T10:22:12.067-04:002011-08-10T10:22:12.067-04:00I just bought Kraken after loving Perdido Street S...I just bought Kraken after loving Perdido Street Station so much and needing another Mieville fix. It sounds like I should grab this one as well, because sometimes I love dense and complex.
