The board's server will undergo upgrade maintenance tonight, Nov 5, 2014, beginning approximately around 10 PM ET. Prepare for some possible down time during this process.
I adore Moonglow. It may not be better necessarily, but gun to my head I’d take it over Kavalier and Clay.
I need to give Moonglow another shot. I think the last time I picked it up I was in a blah headspace to begin with. I love Wonder Boys so much. Maybe now is the time to give Moonglow another try.

Have you read any others by him?
I haven’t. Other than Moonglow, what else would you recommend?

I’ve read the below. The only one I didn’t like was The Mysteries of Pittsburgh:
The Amazing of Kavalier and Clay (considered his masterpiece) The Yiddish Policemen’s Union Moonglow Wonder Boys Gentlemen of the Road Telegraph Avenue The Mysteries of Pittsburgh The Final Solution (my second least favorite)
Never read any of his collections or nonfiction though
I didn't love Telegraph Avenue. It's not bad just not for me. Which is weird because subject matter wise it seems right up my alley. But it didn't totally work for me.

I think the subject matter is probably more up your alley than mine, but yeah either way it's not bad just didn't grab me. Especially compared to most of his others.
