>Tim O'Donnell- Far from having a single reading of these books (which I have reread many

I can agree with this. I'll further suggest that in reading this work of science fiction, 
we have a spectrum of preferences ranging from the more scientific to the more 
fiction/artistic. Some prefer to understand this story with the tools of science- 
objective observation of the "facts" and parsimony (Occam) in interpretation. Others 
enjoy artistic interpretation which relies on in-depth cultural understanding and 
intuitive leaps of faith. Credit to Gene wolfe for creating literature which appeals 
to both ends of the spectrum and those in between.
