City of Thieves
Way better finale than Game of Thrones
Books Grid
The Betrothed
This would make a great HBO series.
Kingdom Cons
Court intrigue of Mexican gangsters, musicians, witches. More poetry than prose.
Signs Preceding the End of the World
A masterpiece. Reminded me of the Odyssey more than anything.
The Transmigration of Bodies
Weakest of his "Three Novels"
Ra
Fun but hard to follow at times.
There Is No Antimemetics Division
Most fun I've had reading in a while. Memento + X-Files + SCP. How do you fight something that you can't remember?
Valuable Humans in Transit and Other Stories
"Lena" short story is brilliant. I ended up writing a post about it.
The Left Hand of Darkness
Masterpiece. UKLeG is an all-time sci-fi great. Her worldbuilding is so convincing. Makes sense that her dad was an anthropologist.
The Phantom Tollbooth
Alice in Wonderland with more math. Great book for a smart kid, along with 'Flatland'.
