Anyone here read
Ariel back in the early 80's?
I just picked it up in its mass market paperback reissue. So far I'm pleasantly surprised and definitely enjoying it. They just reissued it on the heels of the "Elegy Beach" hardcover release, which apparently is the first sequel in over 20 years.
Apparently it's a cult classic. Don't quite know how I missed it the first time.
