Towards A Strange Delirium



"Byzantium Endures" by Michael Moorcock is very dense and claustrophobic, and fifty pages in, the font and story seem very oppressive, so the two thousand pages of this four-book series won't be over quickly, maybe not even this year. I didn't know that Byzantium became Constantinople, which is now Istanbul. There is a little crossover with JG Ballard with the concept of a man/flying machine, but it is difficult to read. I don't know if it's the font, the way the text seems crammed together or the story, which has an Eastern European feel, but I am an eighth of the way through the book.


I am still reading "Imajica" by Clive Barker on my Kindle. This is a book I never want to end. When I finish it, I just restart it.

I recently discovered that my American Amazon Author page has a feed from this blog, which you can see here. It only shows on the .com site but not on others. C'est La Vie.

The Music is "Strange Days" by The Doors
