My love affair began the first week of my first year of college, when my first professor--a red-headed, pipe-smoking, wee Hobbit-y man assigned my first English Lit. class our first book, The Comedians.
Greene was prolific in a Joyce Carol Oates kind of way, so there's always another novel to look forward to (although his "entertainments," a series of straight thrillers like Stamboul Train, are skippable) and numerous film adaptations--good ones, like Our Man in Havana, The End of the Affair, The Quiet American. (Brighton Rock is currently in my Netflix queue.)
What I also love about Greene novels is that they come in pretty packages. I especially love the Penguin series from the 60s-70s book covers illustrated by Paul Hogarth.
