/lit/ likes Gene Wolfe, right? I've never read anything by him. Is this a good one to start on?

Book of the New Sun or Fifth Head of Cerberus tend to be the starterpacks

You could i guess, but its very different than what he's usually known for. Still excellent though

It was my first Wolfe and remains one of my favorite books of all time. It's absolutely brilliant, and a real treat if you're interested in Greek history.

>Still excellent though
Good enough for me.

>>7673247
Don't know much about Greek history, would that be an issue?
>>
>>7673252
Yes, it draws heavily on Greek history and myth

>>7673252
Not him. It wouldn't be an issue. But you'd miss out quite a bit if you hadn't read Herodotus.
