I think all of Walter Jon Williams's work is worth reading, but I most
enjoy his "The Crown Jewels" / "House of Shards" books.  They are a witty
SF comedy of manners with the main character an "allowed" thief (registered
thieves are an accepted part of society, provided they steal with style).
An interesting successor to the Alesei Panshin "Anthony Villiers" books.

Sheesh... OK, ok, there seems to be enough interest in (and rumors about) 
the guy to justify posting his biblio. Here goes:
