Since we are getting down to the end of the month, I'm going to assume that anyone who was going to read the book has finished.

One of the things that I really enjoyed about the book was the exploration into the nature of dreams and dreaming, Jeamland and the rules of it's operation were fascinating, but well known. I did keep wondering, though, if The City were not just a facet of Jeamland ... and the reason Stark could never get home was that he didn't really want to go there, that his fantasy was far better than his reality and so he remained.

I also enjoyed it because following someone into their dreams and visions and dealing with the sludge that one finds there is an important part of shamanism. I guess it was just interesting to see those things outside of a religious context.
