Probably my favorite SF/fantasy series of all time. By no means an easy read - the most common thing you hear about this series is how much benefit there is to be had from multiple readings - it contains seemingly untold layers of puzzles, misdirection, and literary and cultural references to untangle. Set a million years in the future, well after humankind's interplanetary golden age, when civilization has regressed to a neo-medieval state.

Loved his tales, especially about the torturer expelled for showing mercy (tagged).

It was shockingly difficult to find three United States-related (author, title or subject!) spines in #redwhiteandblue but I sort of managed. Happy Independence Day from the old enemy, USA! #jubilantjuly
