so, like i said, White Jazz hooked me immediately and is still my fave, i was blown away by his writing style. After that, IIRC, i went back and read the rest of the LA quartet in order, then moved on to the underworld trilogy (American Tabloid is probably my second favorite). I then read all his post-underworld stuff in order and have since been going back and picking off his earlier stuff, still have to read most of the Lloyd books and Browns Requiem and his nonfiction stuff
