The Obscene Bird of Night is a great novel, brilliant.  I have not read
anything else by him, having been told nothing else is as good.  I will
read Hopscotch eventually.

I've read SD, 2666, Distant Star, and By Night Through Chile.  I didn't
think much of DS, but it's images keep popping into my head.  If you don't 
finish SD, I suggest skipping the rest of section 2 and reading section 3. 

FWIW, my tweeted review of IV (might be a mild paraphrase):

It's great, read it: Pynchon writes his own fanfic and shows Neal how it's 
done.
