I'm not sure what I'll read next. I'm out this evening, so I have some time to decide.
OK, I've decided. The Sea is Full of Stars by Jack L. Chalker. I bought it back in August 2008 during one of Fictionwise's 100% micropay rebate sales. ($299.51 in one go. Wow. No wonder I have such a large a backlog!) No longer on sale at Fictionwise.

Set in his Well of the Worlds universe, but somewhat disconnected from his other books set there, or so I'm told. So far it's interesting. One character seems to be a member of a wandering religious order, who at one point thinks about another character:

"... like most people, Ming was spiritually deaf. [...] [trying to convert] the deaf ones was not only fruitless, it was, to her people, blasphemous. If God had wanted them He would have called."
