The Arturo Perez-Reverte book I suggested is actually titled The Club Dumas.
ReplyDeleteI would also like to suggest W. Somerset Maugham:
ReplyDeleteOf Human Bondage is the more celebrated of his books but I prefer The Razor's Edge. Bill Murray is in a movie based on the latter so that might be fun as well. It's in my instant cue on Netflix. We could have a meeting at our place.
Oh, and Faulkner's most famous book is The Sound and the Fury.
