Behold The Man is always going to be my favourite of the two but I liked the style of Ruins.

Felt like Moorcock was trying to lay his own demons with the 'what would you do' section.

I think it is the same with many of the experiences the protagonist goes through. They are things that he needs to come to terms with and work out and many of the situations or variations of them are ones we all find ourselves in at one point or another.

I don't think he's trying to teach anything per se or convey anything specific. I think it's more of a book that prompts thought.
