Have yet to finish Breakfast of Champions, Player Piano, or Galapagos. I was halfway through the first two, I imagine they could rise higher if I finished them. I honestly don't remember much of Galapagos as I didn't get very far, I should really go for it again.

I like them all, but 1-5 are the really great ones. The rest are good with great parts but in my opinion don't quite completely come together. Mother Night and Dead Eye Dick are both quite underrated, they stand out from his other work as much more grounded and character driven, they have this deep sadness and almost existential weariness running through them. Both in their own ways are beautiful portraits of broken people.

Agree about Deadeye Dick, I was really surprised by its beauty. Have you ever read Bluebeard? That's another less appreciated of his that I think is absolutely beautiful.
