Finished reading: Elric: The Moonbeam Roads 📚. Another of my retirement projects is to read through the definitive author’s editions of Michael Moorcock’s works. This is the seventh (and last) of the Elric books, clocking in at a massive 1,000 pages. Well, it does contain three entire novels (Daughter of Dreams, Destiny’s Brother, Son of the Wolf). These were not even in existence the last time I read the Elric books a few decades ago, and they’re much more polished than the original novels. They also provide perhaps the best exploration of the complex metaphysics of Law, Chaos, the Eternal Champion, and the Balance, among other things. Moorcock is perhaps an acquired taste, but I acquired it long ago, and I’m enjoying getting myself reacquainted with the complex interconnections of his dozens of novels.
