Did you enjoy Pavane? I've often picked it up and wondered whether to try it.

Loved it this time round. I've had it sat on the pile of unread and half-read books for several years, since I gave up no more than about 30 pages in. It requires a certain amount of concentration and a willingness to abandon expectations of a standard, connected, linear narrative.

(It's taken me fewer attempts than Desolation Road which I've been enjoying in small chunks for about five years.)
