I don't mind "Time's Arrow", although I prefer Phil Dick's "Counter Clock World". I do like "Koba the Dread", and his first (tho not his bloated second) vol of autobiography. And I have learned to love "The Information". But otherwise I bounce really quite hard off his books.

Hostage to fortune: I'd like THE REST OF OUR LIVES to win (for though it's author is a friend of mine, I still think it's the best of this list) but suspect FLESH will actually. But I have a terrible track record of predicting these things. Really: shocking.
