1. The Boys From Brazil was a great book. The movie was even
good. But he also wrote No Time for Sargents as well. Which always surprised me since he was mainly a 'suspense' novelist. And a damn good one.

3. This Perfect Day
was his best by far. If any of you have ever been concerned about how your lives are controlled, it will prove an interesting read for you.
