  A very good, but fundamentally flawed, coming-of-age novel about race in America.

• 75 The Things They Carried

• 68 Dead Air

  You might call it Crow Road 2: Electric Boogaloo, or "Iain Banks writes High Fidelity" or even "Wonder Boys by Iain Banks." It's got elements of all those things, wrapped up with characteristically Banksian wit and black humor.

  Bear's two fantasy novels in one volume, which have survived his slide into Crichton/ Clancy territory.
