3 comments:

  1. I particularly like the topmost 'End of the Affair' cover; 'The Quiet Americans', particularly the first and third ones; the bottom 'Havana' cover, and the various 'Comedian' ones.
    I don't care for any of the film reproduction covers.

    I have most of these novels and for a time I splurged on Greene novels, as I have done on people like Patricia Highsmith, Jim Thompson, etc

  2. I, too, splurge (good word!) on novelists. My buying patterns are a bit random and occasionally I'll berate myself for not reading more literary novels or classics, buy a load and, usually, let them sit around unread while I bury myself in another thriller. :-)

  3. Two years ago I had promised myself I'd read 'The Brothers Karamazov' every year for the rest of my life; I broke the pledge, but if its one of those 'more literary novels' you keep passing on I'd unreservedly recommend it to you.
    And you'd be surprised at how much of a page turner it is.

    I had a root for my Greene paperbacks, but they're buried under stacks of other books and magazines, so I can't confirm whether I've any that you don't have.
    I lived in Freetown, Sierra Leone for a time, the location for his 'Heart of the Matter'.
    To describe his favourite haunt, 'The City Hotel' as a dump would be being kind to it: I couldn't imagine it ever having been better than 'seedy'

    Chester Himes is another novelist I've splurged on: he's got some great covers, also
