[Mark Thibodeau]

Aside from Great Jones Street, I think Mao II is Delillo's slightest
pre-Underworld work.

End Zone is also slight, but it makes up for it by being a hoot.

My favorite Delillo by far is Ratner's Star. It's his Gravity's Rainbow.

Post-Underworld, they've all been kind of slight and light-weight (although
I enjoyed Point Omega quite a bit). I think that's by design, though, so
whatevs.

Have yet to finish Underworld, but have read most everything else. Pafko at
the Wall is, of course, brilliant.
