I started reading Imajica when it was first released as a (single) mass market paperback. Ultimately, I never got into it. I liked the idea of Quiditty and all. But in the end, I think I wanted more horror than fantasy.
I don't remember how far I got, but I remember being introduced to a character called Hoi Polloi.
I've read a couple of Clive's longer books: The Damnation Game, Weaveworld, The Great and Secret Show, Everville and Sacrament. I just never got into Imajica. Should I try again?
Incidentally, I think Clive is best with short stories and novellas. If someone asked for a Clive rec I'd say The Books of Blood, Cabal and The Hellbound Heart are his best. My favorite of his longer novels was The Great and Secret Show (though I didn't like Everville as much).
