I own all the works on the list, but in what sounds like a familiar tune, I haven’t had time to read them all. The Twelve Planets are nice, bite sized collections easily devoured the others in the list, particularly the last, are treasure troves that really do need time to sit own and ponder over.
So I have read Cracklescape, Through Splintered Walls, Light Touch Paper…, and have dipped in and out of the others.
And the difficulty here as in some other sections is that they are almost all different beasts. I don’t know that you can really compare them other than to try and go with an intuitive gut feeling about which one made the greater impression. A method that invariably leaves books I have barely read at a disadvantage.
