... Camp Concentration by Thomas M. Disch

I finished this one during the conference but had more exciting things to write about.

It was passed on to me by Badger as part of his continuing effort to halt the reduction of my to-read pile at home - I mean honestly, two metres of shelf space and he keeps lending me stuff!


So onto the story - it was a rather Vonnegut-esque tale of a conscientious objector poet imprisoned and then, along with the other inmates, subject to an intelligence enhancing experiment.

It was interesting reading, if a little hard to read prose-wise (particularly once the madness started).

I recommend it if you don't mind a slightly challenging read.
