New Review: Michael Moorcock's The Dancers at the End of Time

ADDED a review of Michael Moorcock's The Dancers at the End of Time. Surprisingly effective.

I've also updated my statistics page, finally, which includes several books that I read but haven't reviewed (Harry Potter 5, Native Son, the first book of the Deptford Trilogy), and more up-to-date materials.

I've read only 39 books so far this year and written 36 reviews. This is considerably down from my number last year, when, by the end of July, I'd read 58 new books and written 89 reviews. I guess I blame law school for the decrease. I'd have to read a remarkable 19 (!) books in August to catch up to my number from last year; so far I've read two in a week (well, four, since Dancers, reviewed today, counts as three books); if I use the "four" then that leaves 15 more books. Hoo hah. Well, at least I'm going on vacation soon, when I can read to my heart's content.

Starting on Jeff Noon's Vurt. So far it is incomprehensible. It sounds like a drug novel, though I'm getting hints that it's actually much, much weirder. Let's hope it kicks ass.
