I've read all of Pelevin's books other than t, which recently was released. Tom Send a noteboard - 04/07/2010 06:40:04 PM
Omon Ra was depressing but interesting, and a very short read - it's really a long short story or a short novella.

I just finished Sacred Book of the Werewolf and enjoyed it a lot, though of course it was a bit odd. I think it was probably the book of his that "worked" the best because it had an actual relationship in it, rather than just one person's spiritual journey.

I can expand on that if you'd like but I'm not sure what in particular you are interested in finding out.
Political correctness is the pettiest form of casuistry.

ἡ δὲ κἀκ τριῶν τρυπημάτων ἐργαζομένη ἐνεκάλει τῇ φύσει, δυσφορουμένη, ὅτι δὴ μὴ καὶ τοὺς τιτθοὺς αὐτῇ εὐρύτερον ἢ νῦν εἰσι τρυπώη, ὅπως καὶ ἄλλην ἐνταῦθα μίξιν ἐπιτεχνᾶσθαι δυνατὴ εἴη. – Procopius
