An intriguing-sounding read...

I was blog hopping again and read a book review at Book Cannibal about Gun With Occasional Music, by Jonathan Lethem.

It sounds, based on Book Cannibal's description, rather like a utopian-on-the-surface version of Brave New World or 1984. At any rate, it is probably selling as literary, but sounds delightfully spec fic to me.

I have just ordered it.

I've heard that "Guns with occasional music" is Lethem's best novel. Have you read anything else by him?

I love "Brave New World"! Fun to teach. All the kids get squicked when a teacher reads the orgy scenes out louds.
