Relation Supposing Books Silverlock

I have been reading the comments made by other GoodReads members on Silverlock, by John Myers Myers. I am sympathetic with those who feel that a lack of familiarity with classics of literature an culture leave one on the outside. I do not agree, however, with those who claim that the book is pointless and plotless. To me, after reading this book several times over the last 30 years, the point of this book is simply in praise of "story"; how it defines us and uplifts us, how basic it is to the human experience. Here we have the case of a modern man, egocentric, detached, materialistic, and apathetic to everything. He is not even interested in his own story. The first sentence of the book illustrates this: "If I had cared to live, I would have died." And here is this rootless, disconnected piece of human flotsam smacked down in the middle of story with a Capital S. As to plot, it's not so much an absence of plot but rather the presence of ALL PLOT and plot devices: love, lust, good, evil, steadfastness, betrayal, war, peace, friendship, compassion, bravery, cowardice, joy, grief, atonement and revenge... So when the Delian pairs Silverlock with Golias we are invited to watch the creation of his character in every sense of the word.

Oh, what I wouldnt give to spend a year in the Commonwealth! I felt practically illiterate reading this, jam packed with literary and historical references by the dozens, if not hundreds. Definitely helps to have a resource handy for looking up characters and events. Id like to tackle this one again someday after getting a better handle on the Western canon, but its a helluva great read even if youre just along for the ride with Silverlock.

Poetry makes the book flow out of the pages into music of this classic lost fantasy with hints of The Princes Bride,Conan & Melvin Peack & Disc world along with Xanth books.



What if you were promised a fantastic fantasy adventure, full of danger and thrills and songs, all taking place in a magical, mystical land populated by heroes and villains and monsters, with quests out the wazoo and of course ladies to be saved? Sign me up, you'd probably say. It sure sounds like more fun than sitting in traffic or giving your boss yet another status report.Then you go and discover that its all a cleverly disguised quiz designed by an English professor with an encyclopediac

This is supposed to be one of the greatest literary romps in history. It was OK. This was written in 1949 so some of the hijinks maybe a bit on the dated side. I think the draw of this book was tracking down all the references to other literary books and characters. Only the main character isn't lifted from another book. I liked it, but it wasn't the greatest thing I have ever read.
