At the moment, I've just finished up Titus Groan yesterday. I'm still trying to figure out how I feel about it, so I'm not sure who I'd recommend it to yet. I liked it, but I can see why people wouldn't.
I'm curious now, which of the stories in The Coyote Road did work for you? (I could't even finish The Dreaming Wind. It completely failed to grab my interest.) The Evolution of Trickster Stories Among the Dogs of North Park after the Change was definitely the best story in there for me. I'm glad I read The Coyote Road for the stories I liked, but it's not been enough to convince me to rush out and collect the rest.
It's the third time I've read an anthology of theirs, but it just wasn't enough to convince me I must run out and collect the rest. I loved the first anthology I read, the second was utterly ruined by a single story, and this one... As said I'm glad I read it for the stories I liked, but... I don't know. *rambles*
We've very different causes for the reaction, though, I think. I thought a few of the stories were absolutely terrible choices (and the rest at least enjoyable to read), whereas you seem to dislike most of the stories.
