I read Wonderboys and found it a little lame. See the movie instead.

A Prayer for Owen Meany is one of my favorite books of all time.

I read Jackson's Dilemma and I honestly couldn't figure out what to make of it. Is that one representative of her books? If I didn't like it, would I like the others?

I think Infinite Jest is one of the most overrated books of all time.

I've read all the Lonesome Dove books and all the Berrybender Narratives and I love them all. They're hilarious, sad, violent, and moving.

You might think you don't like science fiction, but the Dune series (at least up to God Emperor of Dune) is a true masterpiece.

The Information is my favorite Amis novel. Time's Arrow is brilliant, but not representative of his other work. Night Train is also atypical.
