Hi, I'm writing from Australia, and there used to be at least one other 
list contributor from Sydney, IIRC.  Here, at least, every new Wolfe novel 
turns up in our local library, often with more than one copy, so I think 
he's now seen as "worthwhile".  I read all flavours of book but still 
love S(pec)F -- currently rereading Elizabeth Hand's _Winterlong_, a great 
book greatly influenced by _New Sun_ (set in the City of Trees aka 
Washington DC after the Second Ascension, full of Librarians, Botanists 
and tribadists ;)), and Peter Watts _Blindsight_ (which also I guess has 
Wolfean themes -- vampires, cerebral hemispherectomy).
