Anyone read it? Thoughts?
If ever there was a book that could be accused of overreaching itself, this would be it. But somehow, no one can accuse it of doing so. It covers so much, but none of it seems extraneous (well, some metaphysics is repeated too much for my taste, but perhaps that's for the lay reader to understand better). And I also thought the ending was magnificent as well - it proved to be an excellent literary and philosophical adventure - something I consider difficult to do.
