Re-readingh Cherryh
Apr. 26th, 2007 08:45 pmNote to self: When looking for a bit of reading before bed, you have to be insane to go for Cyteen.
I think it was the first Cherryh I ever read. Naturally I hadn't a clue what was going on until about halfway through. Every time I go back to it I cotton on to something else I missed on previous readings, and stuff I'd forgotten in between.
Sometimes I lift my head and go, "These people are designing psyches?! But they're all completely insane!" And if I'm reading late at night when it's quiet, I can start to think that the book itself is quietly reaching into my subconsciousness and rearranging stuff...

(Found your LJ by Googling Cyteen-related stuff too late at night...yes, a bad idea. :P Except when one finds shiny new blogs to read.)
