I thought Underworld was good.
He writes beautifully.

It hasn't put me off reading another Delillo book because the writing was superb; I just felt the story fell short and the way it was presented wasn't enough to compensate.

If I wanted to try Delillo again where would you reccommend I start?

Problem with Underworld, I think, could be the dull main character. A waste management expert. Really.

The good part of the book is where he goes into the Arizona desert and meets Klara, his ex lover who now paints abandoned war planes. The writing suited that part of the story very well.

I haven't read any other Delillo yet but White Noise seems to be his most read.
