Notes -
Wrapped up Locke Lamora. Overall 6/10 - the plot holes became too big to ignore by the end (why the fuck did Barsavi not make sure Locke was dead before putting him in the barrel? How could the bondsmage guild exist in the form that it does without totally upending any semblance of political stability? ).
Started on Hesse's The Glass Bead Game. I'm a little concerned that it's just going to glorify exercises in intellectual masturbation but it has a touch of Borges that makes me willing to stick it out.
GBG is awesome. My non-spoiler advice for enjoyment/depth is to keep in mind that it is explicitly narrated.
