I love seeing Benito Cereno on this list. What a profoundly powerful book. Always my first recommendation to someone who has never read Melville.

This is great. Fun seeing Walker Percy’s The Moviegoer. Love in the Ruins is a wild and zany read from Percy—highly recommended. Thanks for sharing the list of novels.

Yes, I admire both of those from Percy. Zany is the right word for Love in the Ruins. I'd like to re-read that one soon.

Percy's book Lost In The Cosmos was so wild and perceptive - my favorite of what I've read of his.
