Currently reading: The Eternal Champion by Michael Moorcock 📚

My introduction to Moorcock was stumbling over the Corum books; there’s something about his writing I find a little chimerical and hard to pin down, and I think that’s what I find compelling about it. There’s a lot of pulpy touches, and it moves fast, until it touches down for a brief moment of existentialist introspection, or suggests connections to older, bigger myths and archetypes. But it never seems to take itself too seriously, while still giving the reader some credit. Guess I’ll see how this one goes!
