I've been on an old skool SF kick for a while now
(e.g., Clifford Simak, City; Alfred Bester, The
Demolished Man; Hal Clement, Mission of Gravity, Cycle
of Fire; uh, 70s/80s Frederik Pohl, but, still,
Frederik Pohl), influnced not in the least by the very
wonderful Barlowe's Guide to Extraterrestials ...

... but Wolfe, while I've seen his name often enough,
I don't think I've read, unless maybe something in the
old issues of The Magazine of Fantasy & Science
Fiction I got from my grandpa (which I've been hunting
for for that "Motorman's Glove" story).  Recommendations?
