'Crystal Rain' and 'Stories of My Life', which I've been wanting since I read the title story ages ago. I can't wait to read it. I've also read one of Barnes' recently, 'Iron Shadows'. I will write it up at some point, but I can't especially recommend it. I've read several of Butler's but none of the ones you mention -- I liked Parable of the Sower very much, but not so much the sequel. And the Xenogenesis series, a library borrowing years ago. I recall it rather distressed me. I should re-read it sometime, and see what I think now.
It's sort of depressing to look at my shelves of sf and realise how white they are. But thanks for all the recs, anyway.
