Interesting the assertion that his humorous books were the "good ones" -- I felt they all went on too long, though perhaps because a joke can't really be told for too long (exception that proves the rule: Wodehouse). Rather I much prefer his later, more serious and even cynical work. I've read it all because he is such a master of language and even if I tire of the plot I drink up his prose. He is one of my favorites.
