Among The Believers | 
He had some disputable political opinions and I am not too big a fan of VS Naipaul‘s novels but I love his travelogues. His journey through Islamic (non Arabic) countries in Among the Believers and its follow-up, Beyond Belief, teached me much about Islamic culture.
Thanks to The Turn in the South my first trip to the US was a roadtrip through Louisiana, Mississippi, Tennessee and Alabama, one I‘ll never forget.
RIP
Lcsmcat I found his A House for Mr. Biswas to be extremely funny. But like many funny people, his humor seemed to hide a deep sadness. RIP. 7y
BarbaraBB @Lcsmcat I haven‘t read that one yet. Sounds good! 7y
RidgewayGirl A Turn in the South is an extraordinary book. And I loved ABend in the River and its sequel, Half a Life. But his misogyny and arrogance have certainly colored my love for those books. 7y
