A little bit slow at the start but things got more interesting in the end!
Good short story
literally incomprehensible!
Review: CONDOR IN THE STACKS by James Grady ( Bibliomysteries #28))The iconic spy known as Condor is adrift in his new enforced position in the subterranean depths of the Library of Congress in Washington D.C. In his new position, he tries to save books instead of sending them for pulling (recycling). He also strives to retrieve his missing memories, fogged by CIA medication.
Condor is back for another adventure. A befuddled Condor is working at the Library of Congress when he stumbles upon a dame in need of rescuing and a plot against the LOC. He manages to stumble his way to victory despite all his handicaps. An interesting short read.
Condor first appeared in book and movie in the 70's. Apparently he has a been in a few books since. Here he is just out of a mental hospital and is given a low level job at the Library of Congress. Of course his investigative skills are needed, and are still there. Condor sees literary figures in the stacks, and there are other references and quotes. A large part of the fun is these references. This short novella is part of the Bibliomysteries from Mysterious Press. I will be re-reading to to id...
Понякога трябва да направиш нужното, за да бъдеш себе си.Да поздравяваш халюцинациите си, когато ги срещнеш. Да откриеш пъклен план там, където би трябвало да има само прах и книги.През повече време нямах представа какво се случва, но по хубавия начин. Може би това не е история, която би допаднала на всеки, но за мен беше голямо удоволствие да се потопя в леко откачения ум на главния герой. Шестте дни на Кондора влиза в списъка ми за четене.
"Кондор на лавиците" от Джеймс Грейди я прочетох на един дъх край басейна днес. Тя е мъничка новела с криминален сюжет. Героят Вин (Кондора) попада в библиотека, в която трябва да сортира книги за изгаряне и там започва свое разследване. Общо книжките са 5 от поредицата Мистериозно-виртуозно.
"Мистериозно-виртуозно" в link: Wanderbook "Кондор на лавиците" на Джеймс Грейди също беше новела с история. Побелелият Кондор, или Вин, главният герой тук си има и собствени, пълнометражни романи, и с голямо удоволствие в бъдеще бих се докопала до някой от тях. С книжните си почти-халюцинации и броденето из Библиотеката на Конгреса на ръба между реалността и лудостта, Вин беше изключително интересен и необикновен герой. Напомни ми естествено и на "Легион", макар Вин да не беше още толкова на "т...
It had me going until the end. The ending was abrupt and unclear at all what happened. I’m still confused.
"Кондор на лавицата" започва доста объркващо - със сигурност умишлен авторов похват - така де, главният му герой е на зелени хапченца след дълъг престой в психиатрична клиника. Натам нещата се пооправят, но новелата (лично мнение) е най-тегавата за четене от общо четирите скалпирани до момента. Крайна оценка 4=
What. The. Heck. This is the most confusing thing I think I've ever read. Maybe you have to have read the full-length Condor novels to get it. Grady's writing style completely puts me off. I just found it incredibly bizarre.
Very hard to follow. I didn't know what was happening half the time i was reading that book.
Couldn't put it down...didn't want it to end!Condor is back in the stacks, this time at the Library of Congress. Assigned to search thru books from closed military bases for classified documents or notes, prior to disposal, the reluctant, but ever observant, Condor uncovers a puzzling discrepancy in the delivery/disposal records. He also meets a terrified LOC staffer who is being stalked on the job and feels compelled to help find the stalker. From there, the two seemingly unrelated threads beco...
Too weird for me.
Пет книжни убийства: http://knigolandia.info/book-review/m...kondornalavicite“Кондор на лавиците” на Джеймс Грейди е единственият разказ, който не ми хареса особено. Той проследява един чалнат агент, който е изпратен да сортира предназначени за изгаряне книги. В Библиотеката на Конгреса охраната е повече от сериозна, но скоро той се оказва по петите на конспирация, която заплашва книгите.Издателска къща БАРДhttp://knigolandia.info/book-review/m...
Honestly, I had a bit of hard time keeping up with the narrative, I wasn’t exactly sure what was happening at times. It was quite fun though.
This is a decidedly odd story, not a bad one but definitely a strange one in which it is never certain what is real and what isn't. The resolution to the mystery pondered by the lead character is equally uncertain, and veers into action/thriller territory, with what can only be described as a most bizarre ending.

2.5 Stars Read all my reviews on http://urlphantomhive.booklikes.com This novella is part of the Bibliomysteries series, which features short stories all of which have something to do with books. What could be possibly better than that?This story takes place at the Library of Congress, where the main character has to sort through books and can only choose a few to keep. The rest goes straight into the incinerator. (No one told me this was going to be horror ;) )Condor, the main character, was co...
