I'm finally reading Declare by Tim Powers. All I can say is holy shit I never knew how much I needed this book in my life.

Just looked up the description and this book sounds fun, I'll add it to the queue. What about it made you feel this way?

The level of research is evident---Tim Powers doesn't skimp on the details at all. I normally don't like espionage thrillers but he makes the Great Game come alive. And that's before the weirder elements come in.
