Interesting for the stuff about UEA. I've lived with most of his books since I borrowed a copy of The Cement Garden from the school library in 1992 - and it's the book of his I've probably re-read the most. (I should add that I didn't like Saturday much, or On Chesil Beach. Too drunk on words, too little story.)
Fascinating man....but for me the favourite has to be The Innocent followed by A Child in Time.

Unfortunately I have only read Saturday but it was one hell of an experience. Easily as exhilarating as Joyce.
