Now I have way too many options to choose from. Help me out, /lit/-- what do you think of these books? Any must-haves or overrated stinkers? Best translations, when that applies?
>Dictionary of the Khazars
>The Manuscript Found In Saragossa
>A Good Man Is Hard To Find
>The Melancholy of Resistance
>The Engineer of Human Souls
>Steps (Kosinski)
>The Way of All Flesh
>The Beetle Leg
>I Claudius/The White Goddess
All input is appreciated.

So last night I can a couple of drinks, and today I learned that every one of those in my OP will be in my mailbox within a week or two. Still appreciate feedback/experiences with any of these, OR WHATEver.

aw thanks fellas

That's reassuring. Dictionary and Manuscript are the ones I'm most excited about, though right now I'm finishing up a Gaddis tome (Frolic), and will probably go for something with a more straightforward style before diving into one of them.
