I don’t know what to call it. John Muir is awesome. So poetic, interested in all the things I’m interested in, inspires me to get out there and go hiking (as if I needed more motivation?) – yet, his work is… I don’t know what to call it… “heavy”… the opposite of light reading. I’m just slogging through it. I don’t know if I really like it, but it’s definitely beautifully quotable. It’s leaving me with so many mixed feelings.
This is good to know - Malazan is on my list because it’s so well-loved by fantasy fans. But I want something that is going to suck me in and let me experience the story without effort. My brain is too fried by work these days for me to strain it when I’m trying to unwind with a good book.
If you can find a pdf of a page or preview of the book that’ll give you an idea.
