--Impossible...The Book of the New Sun by Gene Wolfe<br />--Impossible to understand even half of what's going on in your first read, and the more you read, the more you realize that you hold something more like a cultural artefact than a work of fiction.<br /><br />The Quantum Thief/The Fractal Prince by Hannu Rajaniemi<br />--Like Wolfe's, these are books that are difficult, mind-expanding works that benefit from multiple readings. Rajaniemi is the single most important science fiction writer of the last decade.<br /><br />The Gone Away World by Nick Harkaway<br />--The structure of this one is absolutely astounding, as are the use of mimes, ninjas, and the most unique apocalypse I've ever read.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
