[SciFiNoir Lit] Re: Perdido Street Station
I haven't read Perdido Street Station but I have read The Scar and Iron Council. Both are very good reads and I reccommend them. Of the two I'd say that The Scar is the better book. --- In SciFiNoir_Lit@yahoogroups.com, Chedder Bob <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Hey all: > > I'm reading Perdido Street station by China Mieville and I've got to say its one of the best sci-f/horror texts I've read in a while.

Hello Chedder Bob, We discussed Perdido Street Station on the list last year about this time - must be springtime reading! Put 4351 in the message search box to read the previous string on the subject. ~rave! --- In SciFiNoir_Lit@yahoogroups.com, Chedder Bob <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Hey all: > > I'm reading Perdido Street station by China Mieville and I've got to say its one of the best sci-f/horror texts I've read in a while.
