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.

I... highly recommend *The* *Book of the New Sun* if you?re looking for a
sci-fi/fantasy read to satisfy your appetite until the next book of
Martin?s *A* *Song of Ice and Fire* is released. Wolfe?s work rates higher
on the literary scale, but falls just short of Martin?s where
fully-realized characters are concerned. And where Martin?s books are
driven by action and intrigue, Wolfe?s are driven by unraveling a complex
narrative arc with incredibly tricksy literary elements.
