What's 

his best work, iyo?  I vote for _White Noise_, but _Underworld_ (soon to 
be a 

major motion picture?  Whassup with that?) is gonna blast _WN_ away, if 
he 

can keep up anything like "Pafko" over, say, half the novel...

I'm picking a copy today.  I'll let you know what I think.  I've just 
started reading DD.  liked Libra alot (notice Cancer Man in X-Files has 
same pack of Marlboros that he shared a smoke with Lee Harvey himself), 
White Noise was great in parts but I was little disappointed.  Hope to 
get to Mao II and some earlier stuff at some point.



For you Erickson fans (I'm not one of 'em):  he's going to publish a 
non-fiction work about the recent elections, in April as well, called 
American Nomad:  Restless Politics in a Secret Country.
