New Sun is followed by Urth of the New Sun, The Book of the Long Sun, and The Book of the Short Sun. New Sun is standalone, though. The Soldier series and his short stories are fantastic, too.

You’re in for a treat, man. I wish I could experience him for the first time again. No one rewards rereading like Wolfe, however. I can’t sing his praises loud enough

Thanks Shifty. Good luck in the final push to the end of the semester.
