I just finished The Scar, by China Miéville. I think I like it even better than Perdido Street Station. Maybe because the prose is a little less verbose (he only used "vertiginous" and "salubrious" once each!) Maybe because it's about political manipulations. Maybe just because it's got a vampire. :-)

That one looks more interesting to me, but I haven't finished the first one even, so we'll see. The Scar is sitting on my shelf upstairs, but I haven't had a chance to read it yet.

What about "Lascivious"? I think that must be one of his favorites. I loved Perdido Street Station, but frequently felt like I was drowning in adjectives.
