Europe central
the tunnel
life a user's manual
life and fate
the public burning
giles goat boy
the unconsoled

I haven't read letters yet, just finished Chimera so I'm ready now. Since I don't find many other Barth fans on here would you mind giving your appraisal of his works that you've read so far?
Mine:
The Floating Opera: B+
The End of The Road: A
The Sot-Weed Factor: A+
Giles Goat Boy: A
Lost in the Funhouse: B+
Chimera: B (Dunyazadiad by itself gets an A)
