:) this is why I find it amusing that when someone says Gene Wolfe,
aside from the other thinker writers that seem obvious to me I think of
Terry Pratchett. I was happy to see someone mention him, even if they
thought the judgment a mistake. I think of Pterry because he's like
Wolfe with a different slant of light. Yet, he employs intricate world 
building
and has a definite moral stance in his works.
