I'll keep an eye out for it on sale, perhaps. Not sure the genre really appeals, though I do sometimes dip into fantasy if the reviews are compelling enough.

I reread that earlier this year, after discussions about it in the forum, so not sure if that is going to spoil The Man Who Folded Himself. I'll give it a go anyway, methinks.
