Is City at the End of Time part of the Eon series? I somehow missed Eon years ago when I was first reading heavily in science fiction, and I'm reading it now. I'm thinking that I probably enjoy it more now -- or at least appreciate it -- than I would have in my 20's.

You warn: SPOILERS AHEAD and then give a bunch of lines with *something* there, so various mail programs don't decide, "Hey, that's just white space, we should compress it!" One thing that works fairly well is: S P O I L E R S P A C E S P O I L E R S P A C E And it's generally a good idea to do that for anything only out in hardcover, or something that's been out in paperback for less than 2 months. (Some folks can't necessarily get the books from the library and can't afford hardcover copies of all the nifty stuff we could potentially discuss here, so waiting until the paperback has been out long enough for folks to get their hands on it and read it is a generally courteous thing.)
