He's pretty awesome. My favourite thus far is "The Book of the New Sun" (a fantasy series in four parts). Though, yes, you really don't ever fully know what all the events or words mean. One of the cool things is that it's set in a post-technological far-future so you'll have scenes where the main character describes something using his vocabulary and concepts, and it's strange and interesting, and then you go "Oh wait! That's a picture of a guy in a space-suit on the moon!" or whatever and it's a whole different skew on the situation. Apparently the book is full of stuff like that but most of it went over my head :)
