I really like both Boys Life and Swan Song. I've read both multiple times over the years.
I read both Boy's life and Swan Song and enjoyed them both although I found Boy's Life to be a little "busy". There is a lot going on in that story. If I can throw a little love towards Dan Simmons, I really enjoyed Summer of Night as well, maybe the most.
I loved Swan Song for the first half. Then it fell apart badly for me. Whenever the time jump happened. I haven't tried reading any of his other stuff even though I know I bought a few e-books.

I saw that David Wong had a new book coming out titled Zoey Punches the Future in the Dick. And so I immediately set about pre-ordering it only to discover that it's a sequel to the Wong book that I've been meaning to read but haven't read yet Futuristic Violence and Fancy Suits. So I immediately set about ordering that one from Amazon in hardcover for just $13. I got it yesterday. It came in a bag. A f**king bag. And the top and bottom edges of the spine were pushed in a little and the dust jacket is wrinkled and bent at those same spots and I thought "That's what you get for buying from some random asshat on Amazon and not going to a store to actually select a fine copy yourself, asshat."
Anyway, I'm hoping someone does more limited editions of Wong's work. My John Dies at the End is lonely on the shelf. Sure, he's with a couple trade editions but they run with different cliques.
