+1. I loved Desolation Road in particular; a sort of 100 Years of Solitude but on Mars and with more than 2 names for its 3000 characters.

God, thank you for this. Everyone seems to love that book and I found it hopelessly confusing and pointless.

Yes, that is one of my very favorite books. My life is measured in part by how often I allow myself to read it.
