I fear that After having read the trilogy three times, I've come to accept T. I borrowed a large book from the library today: “The Gormenghast Trilogy” by Mervyn Peake. The reason why it is so fat is because it is all three books of the trilogy in one. "Nannie Slagg entered, bearing in her arms the heir to the miles of rambling stone and mortar; to the Tower of Flints and the stagnant moat; to the angular mountains and the lime-green river where twelve years later he would be angling for the hideous fishes of his inheritance." (page 43 of the Overlook Press Omnibus) . Here are some of the richest, most controlled fantasies of the language, While in the army in 1940, bored by petty discipline and frustrated by the monotony of daily life, Mervyn Peake started writing Titus Groan, the first of the three novels which would come to be known as the Gormenghast Trilogy. I've been meaning to read the Gormenghast trilogy for a long time now. I've read Titus Groan many times, Gormenghast twice (and not recently) and Titus Alone once, and I suspect that's a common pattern. I've always been a sci fi and fantasy nerd, however…this novel has stuck w/ me for well past a decade now… READ and WATCH please… …. Therefore, I warn you now, Peake is not a writer for everybody. If you like a fast paced story, I would advise against the series, as Titus Groan is frequently meandering and slow.
