You fucking dickhead, meme in this context just refers to cultural ubiquity on the internet. It's a totally separate question to the other two.

He's fairly erudite -- more patrish than anyone on here.

I'm currently thought the second book of the Book of the New Sun and I can say it's pretty good, but he'd made it a tad shorter.

When you're done with all of New Sun, you will wish it was longer.

Patrician. Just from the sheer amount of books he's read. He's mentioned reading In Search of Lost Time more than twice.

Book of the new sun is fantastic. The style is greater than any other scifi, and the narrative is dense and complex. Arguably the greatest work of speculative fiction- at least that I have read.
A lot of his work is fantastic. I've read a decent amount of sff and he is by a large margin the best
