The Baroque Cycle is up there with my favorites, but I cannot imagine reading the entire trilogy 5 times.

Would love to watch it as a movie or tv series, though, if that were possible.

Definitely a polarizing author. I feel like he knows he is nerdier than everyone else, though. Not intellectually superior. Like he researches the crap out of things to write niche books for himself and other semi-autistic weirdos that would bore the normies.

Also check out "Sand". Same world (possibly) but different setting and characters. Only one book and pretty short and sweet.

Well good thing you didn't read the others. I thought the first was the most interesting - trying to figure out what happened without being told.

Curious what plot holes you found. It's been a while since I've read it but I love picking apart books for inconsistencies. Even when I enjoy the book. Do tell.
