shadow and claw
Mom and Dad D bought me Gene Wolfe's The Book of the New Sun quadrilogy for my birthday this year. I read the first three by checking them out from the library last year, but was cruelly stymied from reading the conclusion because the library didn't have it. (They had virtually every other Gene Wolfe book...except The Citadel of the Autarch...go figure.) I'm rereading it right now, enjoying it just as much, but not perceiving the depth I've heard other people attribute to the series. I must say, though, that the stories Severian reads from Thecla's books are worth the price of admission just by themselves.
