I always thought this was a nice touch:Severian posted:He mispronounced quite common words: urticate, salpinx, bordereau. It's mostly just Wolfe pointing fun at the baroque vocabulary he uses in BOTNS, but once I looked up the definitions of those words, they actually are words that Master Gurloes would have a reason to know. Anyone have any thoughts on Peace? I enjoyed it, but as typical with Wolfe, felt like I was missing a bunch on the first reading. Anything interesting or important to watch out for on a reread? Other than the central narrative conceit of the book - I worked that out before I was spoiled about the tree. I think the oddness of his first doctor visit got me thinking along the right lines, and all the stories about ghosts confirmed it.
