Just finished The Magus by John Fowles. I understand many people are frustrated at its confusing plot and lack of resolution, but I found it pretty great. It's the first book in quite a while where I actually sat down afterwards and wrote out some thoughts and analysis.

Now just starting There is no Antimemetics Division by qntm - much easier read!

Oh, confusing plots and lack of resolution can be really cool, I really like when a book has a suspended dreamlike quality. Can you share some of your thoughts about the book here?
