I can't remember when I discovered Roger's books, it was rather a long time ago! There are many of his books I've read, but I guess 'Today We Choose Faces' is not only my favourite of Roger's, but probably one of my all-time favourite books. I truly can't count how many times I've read it, and I now have a hard back to replace my decades old paperback. I've noticed his influence in other writer's work, in particular Charles Stross, who has the gift of really 'painting pictures with words', and creating characters you identify with, while giving them the most wonderful dialogue, full of wit and humour, while still getting across extraordinary concepts in a manner that looks just too simple. I'm seeing the same ability in 'Madness Of Angels', too, and I can't begin to express how much pleasure it gives me to say that.

I haven't read a great deal of Roger Zelazny, but I do admire 'A Rose for Ecclesiastes'---this was recommended by the writer Joanne Harris in an article I read once--interesting, as she doesn't write sc-fi herself. I've just found your brilliant website---and have just begun reading 'A Madness of Angels'... Hello, Kate! I haven’t read a great deal of Roger
