This was hard. I do like Williams, but as I said earlier Scott wrote Lies.

I went Tad Williams because of sustained fun over 10+ novels, even though “Lies” is a favorite book.

You mean: Locke's like . . .'  ;)

I'm abstaining again. Lynch is the only one I've read and I'm in that <0.1% who didn't enjoy it.
