Hard to pick :) he has a wide range within a narrow scope. I loved map and the territory because it felt familiar, whatever because it felt sincere, platform because it's romantic. And elementary particles because the futurism is amazing! I think he brings a lot to a lot. Should I read his nonfic? I've been reading Tao Lin and noticing similarities in sincerity and simplicity of language/differences in belief in God. Xo
So funny I just finished Platform last night! Devastating ending. He was so early to the sex epidemic and the neoliberal commercialization of it.
I’m actually expecting all of his non-fiction in the mail this week, so I’ll let ya know! Haha. His best book might be the memoir he wrote about the sex film he made. It reads almost like Lolita…
Thanks for the recommendation - I will check them out! And KL is super special ... It's worth reading and one you can definitely pick up from time to time, it's the passage of a long life. X
Lanzarote IS a diff novel than Possibility. Have not read it yet though. What’s your favorite Houellebecq?

"Lewis made me believe in God."
He was instrumental in my "reversion" to Catholicism. He has that effect on a lot of people
Re: Chesterton -- His short biographies of St. Francis of Assisi and St. Thomas Aquinas, available in one volume, are great.
I have friend who swears by Kristin Lavrandsdatter, and I have a copy, but it's soooo long and so many other books cry out to me ...
