Really? A Fire Upon the Deep and Dune are masterpieces, yes, but The Dark Forest although good isn't in the same league IMO.

Tangent: Have you read Gene Wolfe's Book of the New Sun? It's less famous than the books above, but (IMO) it's in the same rarefied company as Dune and J.R.R. Tolkien's work.

I definitely think The Dark Forest ranks up there with those.

I haven't even heard of Wolfe's book. Will check it out, thanks.
