Picked up 3 Gene Wolfe books last night from Strand (Litany/Epiphany of the Sun and Book 1 & 2 of the New Sun series). Can't wait to finish The Dark Tower (only on book 2) so I can start these.
Awesome! It's so good to see so many people picking these up.
I picked up a few more Gene Wolfe books too (Latros in the Mist and Urth of New Sun). Can't wait to get started when I am done with The Dark Tower (on book 3 now).
Finished The New Sun Tetrology. Not sure what to think of it, I love how GW constructed a very believable world and society, but I wish there was more information about the cacogen/other races and different universes that concluded the story. I will probably reread it and get a better understanding but it is just so strange that a first person story turned (or hinted) into something much bigger...
For Neal Stephenson, my favorite book is Cryptonomicron. It's not really science fiction, but still the best thing he's written.
I also had a good time reading Weber & Ringo's March series-
March Upcountry
March to the Sea
March to the Stars
We Few
The last book is a bit weak, but closes off the final plot bits. I wish they'd trimmed 100 pages from We Few though.
