It's a really good book, typical Hugo; I've read it couple of months ago.Quote:

A couple of Hugo scholars I came across back in NY many moons ago. These were not professional critics and I should have pointed that out. Sorry, did not mean to mislead. :)
No, no...I've read them all I don't think that, so I was just curious because I know that generally Les Miserables and The Hunchback of Notre Dame are considered to be his best works.
If I can vote, I will cast mine for the Hugo, which is the only one in the list I haven't read... but the rest are good choices as well (Papillon's fun! so are the Rabelais!!)
Gravity's Rainbow.
