Yes, he is one of those authors. Every block of every thread ends with a cliff-hanger, and you need to read two more blocks before you get resolution. But then, you've encountered three more cliff-hangers ;) So after the first read, I bookmark heavily, and read each thread independently. And sometimes I just reread my favorite threads. Such as Bobby's thread in this book. Also his ancestor in Baroque Cycle, "King of the Vagabonds".
