Is the entire Solar Cycle series as good as BoTNS? I'm a good way thru Shadow of the Torturer, thinking about getting Litany of the Long Sun but I might just wait until I finish the first part of the series

I got the mass market copy of Urth of the New Sun, I don't like the size of the book(I can be a sperg when it comes to print/page size/covers, don't judge the book by them but I definitely have preferences)

Book of the Long Sun

It is much, much more straightforward than New Sun. Just keep reading a bit and things will become fairly obvious. This image, which was the cover of the version I read, will help you make sense of about 75% of the only stuff that's even vaguely confusing.

Are generational ships too cliché at this point? I was thinking about writing a short story about one but I'm worried it's been done to death already.

First thing you need to do is be receptive. Best way to do this is to read Plato and Aristotle. Then read the Bible, go to church, and talk with others about the faith. Then read Scholastic philosophy and contemporary theological texts.

Long Sun has some amazing art. I want this on my wall!

Anyone want to talk about what Long Sun was about? I'm waiting on the first Short Sun book, I assume more stuff is revealed in those books. But, why was the Whorl launched? Why were people awake and asleep?

I liked Long Sun. Its no where near as good as New Sun, but still great. Those first few pages, when Silk is enlightened, are prefect. Just as good if not better than anything else Wolfe has written.
