think I was responsible for the thread by mentioning "White
Noise." WN is probably DeLillo's funniest book. As others
said here, I think, the three other titles that would appeal
most to this list are "Running Dog,"
"Players," and "The Names" (Oh yeah, and also the Lee Harvey
Oswald book, "Libra"). I'll put in a particular plug for "The
Names." I think this is DeLillo's best book, and it doesn't
get the recognition it deserves.
************ Thanks to you and everybody else who commented
on DeLillo. I can't think of anything that I've read set in
the Mediterranean. Parts of Tosche's DANTE novel, maybe.
Rabe's THE BOX takes place in North Africa. I wasn't overly
impressed with either of them, though.
