James --- ### Dan'l Danehy-Oakes *11 Jun 2008, 23:14 · in reply to James Crossley* James, That was my first reaction. I didn't like it at all on first reading, and thought it was basically a dumbing-down of the series by giving away stuff that we were meant to figure out for ourselves. But the opinions of some on this list sent me to a second reading, and I realized that there's a great deal more in the book, a great deal that is added to Severian's story by having it there. > On Wed, Jun 11, 2008 at 4:02 PM, James Crossley wrote: > Not that I want to come off as attempting to quash interest in the > conversation that's been happening here of late, but I wondered if there > were others like me on the list, huge admirers of BotNS who find the Urth > coda unnecessary and frankly, kind of uninteresting. > > James > _______________________________________________ ---
