I’m not sure when it was written, but I ran across this list of the best science fiction and fantasy books this century, and I resonated with the ones I’ve read, so I thought I’d see what others thought of it. Have you read many of them?

I think it was a forerunner, I kept seeing it referred to as “the New Weird”, and in that sense I can see that it was influential. More influential than good, I think.
But the followup, “The Scar”, I thought was excellent, and was just as “New Weird” as Perdido Street Station. All round a better book, really blew my mind at the time - but seems to be rarely as mentioned because Perdido Street Station gets all the attention for being first.
