Reply to comment by spacemanpajamas in Jeff Vandermeer, Annihilation, and Borne by MyStarling

If Borne was out of focus. Dead Astronauts was like glimpsing a world through a broken mirror.

I enjoyed both, but Dead Astronauts made me work for it.

A book I read purely based on Jeff Vandermeer's recommendation on twitter (I didn't even look at the summary before buying it) was 'Sisyphean'. Now that was the weirdest book I've ever read. Enjoyed it as well but twas not a light read.

I'm about half way through myself, and this is an excellent way of comparing the two.

Man, I was struggling with Dead Astronauts and had to put it down. I might need to reread Borne to get in the right mindset before attempting it again.
