I've started to try reading "Perdido Street Station" by China Mieville. After three pages I found myself scanning Archive Of Our Own for Tintin/Captain Haddock slash.
1. I'm guessing Perdido Street Station was either not grabbing your interest, or was too depressing. (I haven't read any Mieville, but I've heard it's really really dark. Which is, actually, why I haven't read any yet.)
1) Not so much because of the dark (not a fan of dark, myself) but mainly because Eor gave the actual writing such a bad review. One of his particular favorite lines he picked on, which became an ongoing joke with our friends, was a mention of the 'vast, sparse chimneys.'
