I’m SO GLAD you’re enjoying it, and you’re really honing in on what makes (made  ) Wolfe such an effective writer — his ability to such the reader in and create an experience that mimics that of actual life through the profession of the story. Kind of meta-narrative. Love it.
Haven’t read your Claw review yet, but will. Just saw Sword of the Lictor. Glad you’re seeing this through!
If you finish the four main books, you’ll only be the second person I “know” to have done so.

Yes indeed. As you originally stated, the BOTNS is like a mindworm, and once it is in your head, it seems as real, if not more real, than the day to day around me. cool. stuff.
