I'm surprised to find that there's no thread about him here.
Anyone interested in him? ;)

I have read only one book by Gide, La Porte Etroite (in the original French). I did not find it particularly exciting. I prefer François Mauriac. I also have Les Caves du Vatican sitting on my bookshelf but I haven't gotten around to reading it yet.

I like André Gide - especially Paludes and Le voyage d'Urien.
I have some more of his books in my shelf, but unfortunately not yet read.

I have read, "The Immoralist"-was a good book, and given the fact that the lead character is a pederast, it was way ahead of its time. "Strait is the Gate" is also in my reading list, though Gide's autobiographical works also look interesting.
