Moksha Posted August 28, 2007 Report Share Posted August 28, 2007 I guess Darth Vader is an anti-hero, because in the end, only he can defeat the Emperor and he rises to the occasion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moksha Posted August 28, 2007 Report Share Posted August 28, 2007 <div class='quotemain'>In the Urth of the New Sun series by the greatest living author, Gene Wolfe, Severian the Torturer commits heinous deeds with honor in a world were they are appropriate. I tried so hard to get into this series, but I just couldn't do it. Should I try again? What say ye Moksha?ElphabaIt is one of the best pieces of English language literature, but alas one of the more difficult pieces to read. I had to have a large dictionary present at all times. I think it was Philip Jose Farmer who said Wolfe was the master and only practioner of the Loop-the-Lupine school of writing. When I read the final book - which came after the first four - I realized the genius of Wolfe's work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps I'll try again with the dictionary this time. Elphaba Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
