On the other hand, there hasn't been a Gene Wolfe book I didn't like (and actually TWK is my personal favorite, but not the one I would think "best"). The only one I have never been tempted to reread is OPERATION ARES, but not because I didn't like it -- my paperback copy is falling apart and it's very hard to find. --Dan'l ``` I do not fear Satan half so much as I fear those who fear him. -- St Teresa of Avila http://www.livejournal.com/users/sturgeonslawyer ``` ---
