Wolfe's Out-of-Print Novels

This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

I just realized that I've now read all but three of Wolfe's
currently-available novels. Though I have a few short story
collections still to read, I'm not sure what Wolfe I should read once
I finish with those (Yes, of course, I could always re-read). Which of
Wolfe's out-of-print books are most worth tracking down? How would you
rank the books in terms of quality? (My best guess is below)

The Devil in a Forest (best?)
Castleview
Free Live Free
Pandora by Holly Hollander
Operation Ares (worst?)

Thanks for the help.
