I am fond of Neal Stephenson. I am slowly making my way through Cryptonomicon.
But as I have too many other distractions, it can take me years to finish a novel now. After Gibson's Mona Lisa Overdrive, I was so drained I couldn't finish off Idoru. It's not the same as when I was younger and I would put everything into finishing a novel within a day or two.
When I could listen to audiobooks at work, I was moving through every Lovecraft work in sequence. I think I've listened to most of them, but the ones that stuck are a bit more sparse.
Previous books I read that I liked were Glen Cook's Black Company.
I bought Boneshaker by Cherie Priest on a whim and it was fairly entertaining.
An older translated book I enjoyed a lot was Yukikaze by Kambayashi Chohei.
I also liked Slum Online by Sakurazuka Hiroshi. It was a bit difficult reading Ernest Cline's Ready Player One after having read it, because Slum was not as heavy on the wish fulfillment and was a bit more focused. (I like fighting games and the exploits felt more believable, like the kind you'd actually see in games.) There were less extraneous plotlines and themes too.
As a big fan of Louis Cha, I've only been exposed to TV adaptations of his Wuxia novels, and although English is a diluted experience I believe I'd have a lot of fun reading the Deer and the Cauldron.
I've been meaning to give House of Leaves a try someday. My friend owns it and says I would like it.
