Suggestions as to which Walker Percy book to take on vacation? |
|
I have three novels by him that I haven't yet read (I've only read The Second Coming and loved it). The three are Lancelot, Love in the Ruins and The Last Gentleman. I also have a non-fiction collection of his, The Message in the Bottle.
I also have "All the Little Live Things" by Wallace Stegner that I haven't read yet. I loved his "Angle of Repose."
Any suggestions?
thanks

Of the three you mention, I've only read Love in the Ruins and very much enjoyed it -- it was a number of years ago, but I seem to remember it was kind of post-Apocalyptic and Vonnegut-like.
But I do love The Moviegoer and the Thanatos Syndrome.
I've never gotten into Wallace Stegner, for whatever reason.
