Yes, absolutely! Definitely a very rated author. Although I will admit I haven’t read much of his. I do have Cat’s Cradle on my wishlist, so maybe I’ll pick that up.
I’ve not read How you lose the time war, but have had it recommended repeatedly.
It’s fantastic, I love it so much. It’s mostly written as an epistolary novella, and at times is very poetic, so it’s definitely not for everyone, but I highly recommend it to anyone even kinda into that sorta thing.
But also, I finished Wheel of Time for the first time last year. What a journey! I pretty much binged it so I didn’t really experience “the slog”, and loved nearly every minute of it. Is this your first read through?

Dang, that sounds…totally up my alley!
Re:WoT
I mostly only have time to read omw to/from work, so even though it was all I was reading, it only got maybe an hour or two a day of my attention. And broken up attention at that, what with changing buses and trains, walking between etc etc.
I did WoT mostly the same! I was reading on my breaks at work, and a bit at home, and I was doing about one book a month. Eventually my work allowed us to use headphones while we worked, so I switched to the audiobook versions and absolutely blazed through Path of Daggers, Winter’s Heart, and Crossroads of Twilight, the shortest in about two days. After becoming alarmed at how quickly I went through those, I switched back to just reading, and did the rest like that. I find it’s good to savour them, and have more time to process everything. Enjoy the rest of your WoT journey! It’s a good one!
I’m going to need to get the last 5 books, I’ve been buying them in chunks of 5. I also don’t really want to give amazon more money, so I’ll have to look around for somewhere else to buy the ebooks…
Popular opinion: Vonnegut is a based author.
