ghOsty Posted March 21, 2013 Report Share Posted March 21, 2013 I remember a while back a bookstore clerk recommended me a certain Sci-Fi novel that came out in the early 2000's that was supposed to be very good and I remember seeing it get praised in reviews and such, all I remember was the title cover being very green and the obscure year in red vertically down the front. I wanna say it was 2562 but I know thats an artist, but I'm pretty sure it was like 23-something, it's not 2312... Any of you guys big enough sci-fi readers to recall which one I'm talking about?

It was definitely a futuristic year.

For some reason I remembered it being a more obscure year than that and the painted imagery came together as mostly green in my mind. Been wanting to read this one for a while and couldn't remember the right year for the life of me. Not a sci-fi though you say? It was introduced to me as being kinda sci-fi ish, either way it sounds really interesting and it's said to be quite good.

ghOsty Posted March 22, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2013 Actually, come to think of it I think it was recommended to me more-so because I enjoyed House of Leaves, which isn't really a sci-fi either but is one of my favorite books ever.
