Tim Powers' first two books are best left forgotten (even the re-writes).
"The Drawing of the Dark" is an entertaining book, especially for its
central revelation (which I refuse to spoil).  His later books, however,
are excellent.  From the gonzo alternate history / time travel of "The
Anubis Gates" , to the bizare post-apocalyptic visions of "Dinner at
Deviant's Palace" to Voodoo and Blackbeard in "On Stranger Tides".  Any of
his later books are recommended, and I'm looking forward to "The Stress of
Her Regard".

[CP] == Chapbook (a very short book, or pamphlet)..
rev == revision of an older title
