wonderful book

by dbidd (WorldCat user published 2008-01-16) Excellent Permalink
This is one of the best books I have every read. It is poetic, biblical in scope and unsettling to the core.

Melvillian odyssey

by dhd1491 (WorldCat user published 2008-07-11) Excellent Permalink

This book tires you out like reading Melville or the Bible.  But, it has the same kind of ultimate reward...deep, thoughtful, beautiful, chilling, apocryphal, disturbing...it's all of that.  "The Judge" is one of the most interesting villains I've ever encountered in fiction.
