""Of Human Bondage" is the only novel I've ever read three times. IMHO, it's greatly underrated, as is Maugham. Read it at your peril. I not only read it, I lived it."

"It doesn't get much better than Carson McCullers. And it doesn't get ANY better than "The Member of the Wedding" -- unless it's "Ballad of the Sad Cafe.""
"Erskine Caldwell is, IMHO, as underrated in American Lit as Somerset Maugham is in British Lit. And "Tobacco Road" is all but forgotten. IMHO, it ranks right up there with Twain's "Huckleberry Finn."
