He may have written more worth the while, but I have not read them... 'The Book of Legendary Lands' sounds like the sort of thing he'd do well: esoterica.<br /><br />I was able to use 'Travels in Hyperreality' in a smart-assed Facebook post about Tokyo Disneyland. A hell of a way to find out how few of your friends are well read (have heard of him). Still, for quickly sketched world building, nobody beats Borges, and nothing beats 'Fictions'.Ἀντισθένηςhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06199983680204710885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-596203844533164378.post-13635834868249347862014-02-18T20:21:52.300+09:002014-02-18T20:21:52.300+09:00This comment has been removed by the author.Ἀντισθένηςhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06199983680204710885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-596203844533164378.post-56922777822787890432014-02-18T06:48:56.836+09:002014-02-18T06:48:56.836+09:00Thanks for that.
