I first read it when I was like 15, tapped out in book 3.

Read it again as an adult, enjoyed it immensely, still missed a great deal of what was happening.

Third time I started to really start to plug into what Gene was laying down.

I've read it maybe 6 times now and I pick up new details and meanings every time.

Obviously that's a whole lot if you don't find value in the journey itself, and it's not like I'm recommending it or anything haha. I always tell people to start with his short stories. The Island Of Doctor Death And Other Stories is a great one.

Have you read the Long Sun ones that always somehow turn into people walking around dark tunnels for chapters on end? A lot less cryptic, apart from it feeling like everything of significance is happening offpage.

Absolutely, I consider it all one series and read them all together. Silk for caldé!
