I want to read that at some point - thing is, the list of books that I want to read that I haven't yet is pretty horrendously long, not to mention all the books that I
have read (but not for a while) and wish to read again. I need clones, dammit.
For a recommendation I would say
The Years of Rice and Salt by Kim Stanley Robinson. It is my second favourite book that I've ever read - only
Dune to my mind surpasses it. Anything pretty much by Iain Banks too, except that I've head his books are not that easy to get a hold of in the States (and they have slight differences from the UK versions too apparently).
