Kinda love them all. I think I'd agree with most that Wittgenstein's Mistress is his 'best,' though not necessarily my favorite. Springer's Progress is quite funny as well. Overall, though, I think it's the Notecard Quartet that most sticks with me (This Is Not a Novel, The Last Novel, Reader's Block, and Vanishing Point). These are all completely addictive and wonderful (if bleak) books. And while they have a lot of similarities in form and theme, they each harbor specific idea. I think The Last Novel and Reader's Block stand out in this way, the former focusing on how geniuses often die impoverished, forgotten, suicidal, and insane, while Reader's Block is amazing for the way it highlights how geniuses are often reprehensible people—it basically contains the definitive list of which great artists were raging anti-Semites, for instance. So! It depends on what you like to be sad about. But you can't go wrong with any of these. (less)

Double Black Diamond by Mads Gobbo
"Mads Gobbo and Miles Klee could probably write the Steven Millhauser story about the guy who marries a frog, but Steven Millhauser could not write the story here about the girls who want to get murdered (and then put into the rez machine)."
