NP - Little Big

[mikebailey at speakeasy.net]

Little, Big is pretty good writing, ie the quality of the prose transcends the genre

however, a work of utter perfection is Crowley's Aegypt
(it's the 1st volume in a tetralogy, but it stands alone and - I think - is far better than vol 2 or 3 -- 4 isn't available yet)

Aegypt engenders reading-bliss on the level of the writer this list celebrates
