Compared to EmbassyTown or Perdido Street Station, Rail Sea was an easy read.

You really liked that one, check out all of his books. I suggest trying The City The City, it is a great detective novel stilling keeping that "weird" vibe he writes with and his syntax isn't too hard to follow in that book.

/And yes His name and the book RailSea are a tribute to Melville and Moby Dick. He has another book that kinda has hunting a giant whale in it too The Scar
I've read PSS and Kraken. I always enjoy his stuff and will probably get around to going through all of it one of these days.
