I probably read this book 20 times, would finish and start right back at the beginning. Then I lost it, meaning my mom tossed it or something, and just recently found it again. It happened to be a long car weekend - Bham to Chicago and back - so I pulled it out of the TBR list. OMG!!!! It is even more amazing than I remember! You guys have got to read it, and keep in mind that it 40 yrs old, and Delaney was able to imagine technology and physics that are future tech today!

This made me think of Dhalgren definitely in my top 2 or three and I've re-read it a couple of times.
