Wherein I revisit Stories of Erondell and discuss my thoughts on it four years later.

Book 33 on my list is an exploration of humanity and what it means to have one toe in the human world and one in the alien world.

The High Stakes Fallacy, whereby big, impersonal stakes are thought to be enough for a story, is an easy trap to fall into.
Book 32: The Man in the High Castle
The Man in the High Castle is an alternate history story that examines life if the Axis Powers had won World War II.
The Perils of Outsourcing

Book 29: A Canticle for Leibowitz
Book 29 on my list is an epic novel spanning millennia that illustrates the fragility of mankind and all our knowledge.
