This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

Most horrible Gene Wolfe book: There are Doors.  This would have to be the
most boring book I have ever read. It is the only book I have never been
able to finish.

Quite a disappointment after devouring the torturer series, the dying Earth
series and the devil in the forest (or something like that).

Has anyone read it, and understand what was going on?
