I was also thinking I should re-read it, after seeing all these enthusiastic comments. Only read it once, a few years back, and it really didn't speak to me, but maybe it was just the mood I was in. It hasn't made it into my collection yet because I tend to buy the books with my favorite characters (and the newer ones), but based on the opinions above, I may be missing something great. Or at least something better than most of my current reading material.
