Did you ever write up your thoughts on Secret Rendezvous? I know I waxed rhapsodic about it… not necessarily expecting the same but I’d love to know what you thought!

It’s in the photo by accident, Joachim! I had just driven back from North Carolina to Florida and just kind of scooped up the unshelved books around the place. Haven’t read it yet. Started a samizdat copy of Inter-Ice Age 4 last night on my ereader though.

Ah, I was so excited to hear your thoughts! Hopefully you get to it this year :)
I am of course interested in your views on Inter-Ice Age 4 as well. I have a physical copy but haven’t read it (and Face of Another).

No—it’s a loose order of when I read them.
