I hear that that is amazing. It's worth my time, then?

It is amazing and certainly worth reading.

I started celebrating Bloomsday as result.

I recommend "Infinite Jest" by David Foster Wallace. Believe it our not I've read it twice. It's funny and sad and insanely insightful.

For SF, I recommend anything by Greg Bear - Darwin's Radio was a pretty good read. And if you have never read it William Gibson's "Neuromancer" gave birth to the whole cyberpunk genre. Other classics "On a Pale Horse" by Piers Anthony. Or if you want to go way back read "The Stars My Destination" its a hoot.

Plus "The Broom in the System" and "Brief Interviews with Hideous Men" Have not read the post-mortem manuscript though...I'm a bit reluctant to do so. He's such a meticulous craftsman that I'm not sure if it truly reflects his intentions.
