I just read 2XS by Nigel Findley (for many different reasons besides just to read).  I enjoyed it, it seems that Nigel got Shadowrun (there was a Shadowrun at the end of the book). I'm wondering if there are some books you recommended that I should read.  I have Never Deal with a Dragon though.

Burning Bright is a great book, even for those that aren't SR afficianados!

I've always been a big fan of the short story anthologies to help describe the panorama of the setting:

Into the Shadows
Spells & Chrome
World of Shadows
Drawing Destiny
Sprawl Stories, Volume One
The Frame Job
Down These Dark Streets
Sprawl Stories, Volume Two


Plenty to dig into here  ;)

From the newer books:

Russel Zimmerman's Neat, Shaken, Stirred, Chaser and On the Rocks follows cyber-noir dectective Jimmy Kincaid. While his Blackbird series (Base of Fire, Combined Exercises, and Hollow Point) is about Dash Red Clay, and views the history of the Sixth World through his eyes.

I'm still catching up on a lot of the newer books, but Makeda Red by Jennifer Brozek, Fire & Frost by Kai O'Connell, Dark Resonance by Phaedra Weldon, and Dragonbones by Stephen Dedman have been some of the ones that really caught my attention.
