I mean, if you want to know about the inner workings of Graham Greene's life, you're probably better off just reading his novels (the dividing line between his serious novels and his entertainments isn't as clear-cut as he made out).
Some personal favourites:
England Made Me: Interestingly enough for a novel written in 1935, about multinationals.
Brighton Rock: A vicious little tale of a small-town thug.
The Power and The Glory: A very, very catholic novel, but also a cracking thriller.
The End of the Affair: Another very catholic novel, but also very different.
The Quiet American: Hard to express exactly how good this one is. Vietnam, spies, and a huge indictment of "decent people".
Monsignor Quixote: Life after fascism, and a ridiculous priest who may, in fact, be a saint.
