Of what I've read, they definitely are -- illustrating the point (cf. Chomsky, Watson, etc.) that folks are often more interesting to read when they're explaining something about which they have a hell of a lot of concrete, specific knowledge than when they're haranguing for something they simply have strong feelings about and trying to trade on credibility or reputation earned in an unrelated field. Not that this principle could find any SF analogue . . .

read already dead, no dominion, half the blood of brooklyn over the last week and a half and re-reading every last drop by charlie huston. it would have been better if hbo had done a vampire series based on these books. also read a carrion death by michael stanley earlier.

It is a classic. I prefer his reportage though. Have you read Down and Out in Paris and London or his columns in the Evening Standard?

Continuing my Robert Heinlein kick. Very good read. I'd put it in his top 5 so far. Proves that a great story can be told in under 200 pages. Starting on Glory Road now.

I've heard good things about Down and Out in Paris and London but haven't read. Would you say it's better than 1984?

It's really good once you get into it. My sig is from it, haha.

Just getting started on Everyman by Philip Roth, then most likely moving on to For Whom The Bell Tolls by Hemingway.
