Two books by Michael Chabon -- The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and lay and The Yiddish Policeman's Union. This guy can really, really, really write.
Rainbow's End by Vernor Vinge
Spook Country by William Gibson


As soon as they started talking about the pilgrimage and each person having a story I immediately thought Canterbury tales. Its not a bad adaptation of the style but as you say it seems to be leaving something....out.

I've also been told to just hang in there and read all three books and then it will all make sense. So hopefully the more I read the better I'll feel about it.
