Question:

Which book do you recommend? (Small list provided) Please this is a quicke answer.?

1. The Crying of Lot 49 (Pynchon)
2. Snow Flower and the Secret Fan (See)
3. Rebecca (DuMaurier)
4. Don Quixote (Cervantes)
5. Heart of Darkness (Conrad)

I've never heard of these books, so your personal opinions matter much! If you want, you can give me a small description on what the book is about. Thanks.

BTW, I have to take an essay exam on one of these books (whichever I choose)

Thank you in advance!
