But it's even more likely, I'd say, that it involves whether a person who starts reading a old book of dubious provenance and blasphemous contents found it in a deserted house will ever be able to finish reading it or not.

Accelerando, for example, should be avoided. His Merchant Princes homage to Zelazny's Amber is quite good, too.
