After Dachu is really quite good. Quinn has moved on from his usual theme, but does ask a few important questions with his story. To my mind the story is better than anything he's written yet, and the questions he asks are never quite answered. It's definitely a more subtle message than the Ishmael Books or even Story of B in its approach.

While I personally think the Ishmael books should be required reading for all of western civilization, this is because of their content and message, not because of their writing style or story. AD is just a darn good story with some really thought provoking ideas.

I started it yesterday. I finished it today. I highly recommend it. I should say this: there might be one part in the middle where you're about ready to give up on the book because what you think it's saying is so out there that it starts to piss you off. This is especially true if you're already familiar with Quinn, his writing style, and his vehicle for making his points. Stick with it for a couple of chapters. I almost wrote Quinn off as having jumped off the deep end, but it turned out to be a very important aspect of the novel.
