Densely quaint. Both Tolkien and C.S. Lewis highly praised and were
influenced by it. Colin Wilson called it the best novel of the twentieth
century. A low budget film would need a lot of special effects. It could
be very amusing. Regards,

Does that mean That it is a difficult read? Did you like it? I might order a used copy from Amazon.
While watching the small part of the movie being made, I couldnt quite figure what was going on. It seemed like some kind of dream sequence. Though not reading the book or the script kept me in the dark.
- Well, not as difficult as Olaf Stapledon. - J.R. 07:55:45 05/05/14 (3)
  Early science fiction is often quite a handful. More often quaint than
  not. Think of H.G. Wells as a more standard, more normal writer. Regards,

    Do you have any recomendations for novels and short stories?
    Ive read some Jules Verne, H.G. Wells and edgar allen Poe but though they were very inventive they didnt have modern writing styles and were difficult at times.
    Whenever I go to a book fair, I check out the SF stuff if there is any.

      H.P. Lovecraft, "The Strange Case of Charles Dexter Ward."
      C.S. Lewis, "That Hideous Strength."
      Colin Wilson, "The Mind Parasites."
      
      These are not for the timid. All are remarkable, prophetic even. "The
      Mind Parasites" is so uneasy and frightening that few can finish it.
