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!

"As a general rule, people, even the wicked, are much more naive and simple-hearted than we suppose. And we ourselves are, too." -Karamazov
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.Originally Posted by behindblueeyes
Alas, a lot of Huxley's output was drivel, in my view, so I may well be biased!
Go to work, get married, have some kids, pay your taxes, pay your bills, watch your tv, follow fashion, act normal, obey the law and repeat after me: "I am free."
