Always happy to recommend Wolfe. I think he's one of those authors everyone should try at least once. Fifth Head of Cerberus is good short read. The rest of the Solar Cycle is great, too. Soldier of the Mist and its sequels are also great. Follows a Roman mercenary fighting for the Persians. He suffers a head injury and has major problems with memory loss. He may or may not be able to communicate with the Greek gods.
I'm still dual reading Musashi by Endo and Mason & Dixon by Pynchon. Haven't been able to read as much as I hoped so far this summer. Back to Malazan when I'm done with those.
