My least favorite is V. Beyond the title selection, I can't see myself
taking as big a role in any group reading in the next year. I'll take a
back burner role again no matter what we read, so y'all go for it.

From: "Henry":
I love the big books, but let's bring it all back down to 
earth and (re)read V.  It's an even more difficult read 
for me and, I feel, fundamental in its own feverish way.  
I like its ending more than any other book by OBA.

Good points all, too bad that "V" is my least favorite. Can't call it 
one of the "Small" books, 'cause it ain't, but it's got our boy's 
least considered stuff, leastaways considering how nuanced his 
portrayals of 'deviant' charecters become in AtD.

But you make an excellent point, and "V" sure does tie into AtD, don't it?
