Reading The Book of the New Sun by Gene Wolfe. Totally blown away. Just beautiful writing. I'm a big China Mieville fan and heard him refer to Wolfe as the greatest living author. Had to read him after that. I'll go on to read The Book of the Long Sun and The Book of the Short Sun after I wrap up New Sun but I need some recommendations for something after that.
Short list is:
Seveneves, Anathem, The Diamond Age by N Stephenson
Gormenghast by M Peake
Iron Council, The Last Days of New Paris by China Mieville
American Gods by N Gaiman
Soldier of the Mist by Gene Wolfe
Too Like the Lightning by Ada Palmer
The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle by Haruki Murakami
Suttree by Cormac McCarthy
There's probably another 30 I could add to my "short" list, but those are at the top. I'm also a re-reader. I'd like to go back and hit Iain Banks, Peter Watts, and William Gibson again soon. Recommendations?
