What's your take on them all so far, OP? I haven't read much, but I enjoyed Neuromancer and love Blame/Biomega. Read Biomega if you haven't.

I'll give Biomega a try after finishing Blindsight
>What's your take on them all so far, OP?
-liked the figure of Wintermute and Neuromancer (in Neuromancer)
-liked the autistic pseudoscientific language on The Atrocity Exhibition
-liked geocosmic mind-gymnastics on most of Ballard
-liked on Blame!: the desolated-uncanny landscapes, the "image > word" relation, and that it demands you to construct the plot.

Totally different genre, but you might like the Gormenghast novels. About life in a sprawling, stagnant, crumbling castle.
