The first time I tripped over the name of Matt Ruff, he was... just a name. I had heard interesting things about the book "Fool on the Hill", and when I finally opened it up it was with curiosity, and a certain set of expectations.
He blew them all away.

"Sewer, Gas and Electric (The Public Works Trilogy)"
If only because it isn't a trilogy. Read it -- you'll see what I mean. It's an utterly madcap novel; laugh out loud funny and beautifully structured.
But that's just my favourite. Really the books are all wonderful. I own them all, every one, and I am very pleased indeed to have made my small contribution to Matt's royalty statements.

It was a stunning recommendation. I have tried to pass the good news along.
Thank you for the original recommendation, and for the reminder that I need to hunt down and devour the rest of these novels. (And thank you matt_ruff for writing them!)
