I wonder-- Re: 10 Favorites

[Simon Bryquer-RR]

At last someone has mentioned Lowry's 'Under the Volcano'.  I'm beginning to wonder about the literary inclinations of the present frequenters of the P-list. 

I don't make lists, even with the rationale of favorites,  because great works of art are beyond comparison. Great novels assert themselves uniquely and for different reasons as different seemingly forever evolving and self-revealing entities. If they don't they're probably not that great.

Did anyone out there ever read 'It Happened in Boston' by Richard Greenan?
