I've been reading his work and enjoying it, just wondering what the consensus is.

What are his best works? Worst works? Personal favorites?

2666 and The Savage Detectives are both pretty highly-regarded here.

2666 reads like a wikipedia article

I'm really interested in reading Savage Detectives. So far I've only read By Night in Chile. I just bought Monsieur Pain and plan on reading it soon, it was the only novel of his that my local bookstore had to offer.

Is that a good or bad thing? Honest question.
