Mmm, I'm not so sure I read any more. Liked one of them, at least, but
can't remember which. My favorite kinda "seamy-themey"-philosophic-type
writer, though, was Dostoevsky. In spite of his reputation (or perhaps
because of it,) "Friend of the Family" was one of the funniest tales I ever
read. I've perused almost all of his stuff, though some time ago. dorayme
strongly reminds me of one title in particular...
Hardy was kinda good, too, but I think a bit uneven in quality. However,
the dunnies were cold in them days.
Since were on the subject of novels, did you ever happen to read anything
by "Hodgson" or "Hudson"? Not gonna tell ya the titles (now). But good
stuff.
