Why read it?

1 author picked Love. An Archaeology as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

Using meta with meta on top, these loosely related stories will take you on a wild ride with androgynous characters, mysterious places, and poetic situations. As you have probably figured it by now, I love to be challenged by books and this one is one of the most rewarding reads I have experienced. Highly recommended for lovers of high-brow speculative fiction who hate when genre is taken too seriously.  

From Seb's list on to bend your mind.
