Has anybody read this book? I coincidentally saw it in a bookstore quite a while ago and decided to buy it. I really enjoyed this book, it's nutty and it's very interesting to read.

"Hospital is about blue murder and saving lives, having sex and surgery, falling in love and falling from a great height, crazy voodoo and hypnotic surveillance - It's about the last days and the first days. And the Rubber Nurse knows you've been very naughty and is going to teach you a well-deserved lesson.

It's the story of a lost boy wandering the corridors of a strange, septic building, looking and hoping for a chance to get home. And also of a man who won't wake up despite the best efforts of the hospital staff - and while he sleeps, a threatening darkness settles over everything..."

Sounds interesting. I tend to enjoy stories where locations become central characters.

Toby Litt's a good guy, so I'll probably check this out.

I read this book last year and I really enjoyed it. It was my first Tobi Litt book and if his others were as easy to get hold of I would pounce on them.

I'm really curious about his other books as well.

Yeah - I think the one is Corpsing. It's been on my wishlist for years. I still haven't bought it yet. I wonder if it's good.
