which of aldous huxley's books do you recommend? i haven't read any of his works as yet, i am ashamed to say.

i know brave new world is the most well-read, but maybe i should introduce myself with something less talked-about? any other suggestions are welcomed!

I hear what you say about BNW, but I'd have to recommend it as the place to start. It's an excellent book, is nice & short and easy to read, with humour and tragedy.

Alas, a lot of Huxley's output was drivel, in my view, so I may well be biased!
