Book of the New Sun is so good. It is indeed very good at making you like Severian, which is great because in universe he wrote it for more or less that reason

I'm not really sure what a reading speed means judged by pages/hour unless everything you read is written at the same level. I'm all about pacing but if you're reading, like, Sebald at 150 pages an hour then you're just letting the words go in and out. Bad pacing is a common problem in SFF like everywhere else but I think evaluating it has gotta be more complicated than "slow = bad."

A human heart posted:i'm sure the goon who wrote a book called mr shivers is a real giant of writing craft the "canon" includes works titled The Hunting of the Snark, Miss Marjoribanks, and Humphrey Clinker By all means desperately attempt to dunk on people in the SFF thread but do try to suck at it less
