"Infinite Jest" is a very important book for the 90's, I think, because it will
change the way SOME people view fiction, but I would change the order a bit,
with a deletion and an addition.

1. A Frolic of His Own

2. Mason & Dixon

3. The Tunnel

Just a thought on a slow Wednesday afternoon.
(And I'm not even sure, yet, in my own mind, that "Underworld" is DeLillo's best
book of the 90's.)
(And "Infinite Jest" probably comes in a close 4th or 5th place here.)

Peace,
