It was a book I undeniably enjoyed and was inspired by, even if it did remind me that I tend to be very short-termist in my reading tastes and as a result my knowledge of SF prior to about 2000 is really not what it should be. The book brought this home to me by lavishing attention on Christopher Priest and Gene Wolfe. I've never read any Priest and what Gene Wolfe I have read bored me.
