Milorad Pavic Anyone?

Am I the only person to have read anything by this amazing author?

Milorad Pavic is a university proffessor of linguistics and his work has been translated from the origional Serbo-croation into more languages than you can shake a stick at.

"A Landscape Painted in Tea" is a profound and extraorinary reading experience. The book is seperated into to halfs. The first is a feast for the mind and the second is a very cryptic crossword with the answers hidden in the epic clues, as well as the first half.
It matters not which way you read it.
It's a joy.

"The Dictionary Of The Khazars" is another wonderful book.
Being Dictionaries, (3 of them plus 2 appedicies) They are written in alphabetical order rather than chronologically and the reader is encouraged to cross reference from one to another in order to find a fuller picture of a polemic which was first posed in six hundred and somthing AD.
It's so refreshing to be not only allowed, but possitively driven to explore a story based on what grabs ones attention from one moment to another.
Not only that, but it's a bloddy good read.

If anyone's read any of Pavic's stuff, we may have stuff to discuss, and If you haven't ........ DO!

He's amazing.
