Notes from Underground is technically a novella, and it is important but Crime and Punishment is superior. By favorite Novel has been Invisible Man by Ellison, which was actually influenced by Notes. Over the years I have a few novels that I appreciate as much as Invisible Man. Invisible Man is the well-spring: the others are Man's Fate by Andre Malraux, the loneliness in this novel is so familiar. I am a fan of Tristram Shanty by Laurence Sterne, the first confederacy of dunces. Go Down Moses By William Faulkner, his greatest novel in my opinion, and Frankenstein by Mary Shelley, and of course Crime and Punishment. All of these novels speak to me. I also love poems by Ogden Nash, Marianne Moore and TS Eliot to name a few.
