The Completist Chronicles: Christopher Priest
A few years ago we picked up The Separation by Christopher Priest and found we could not put it down until we had gotten to the very end. We do enjoy books that question what we know, what we remember, and what is real. Then we swore we would read everything Christopher Priest had ever written. We have yet to make good on that oath—whenever we like a book, we resolve to read all the books by that author, hence our enormous backlog—but we will get around to it. While checking out recent releases at National Bookstore, we found a reissue of an early Priest novel The Affirmation (Php315) and the 2011 novel The Islanders (Php315). And he has a new novel called The Adjacent so we should get cracking before he puts out any more books.

I just finished reading the “Inverted World”. I won’t comment on it to avoid spoiling you but thank you for introducing us to Christopher Priest! Now I can’t wait to read “The Separation”.

spooky: That’s great. Let us know if you can’t find a copy of The Separation.
