I just started to read Underworld by Don DeLillo...

[WCGreen]

What a book. What a command of language. No wonder the NYT called it the second best work of fiction in the last 25 years.

1. I've read the first segment

and it is amazing. Hope the rest is as good.

2. DeLillo is one of my favorites. He does things with language that

that no one else can do.

4. that book pwns

I go back to it sometimes so I can try to imitate his prose. I wanna read every Delillo book there is! My favorites by him so far are White Noise and Cosmopolis.

6. DeLillo is just terrific.

UNDERWORLD is a gem, and that first chapter with the baseball is as good as it gets in writing.
