I haven't read Quicksand but Passing is an amazing book.

Having spent a lot of time writing his name in these polls, I only recently clocked that Compton Mackenzie wrote "Whiskey Galore"!
Gay Neck, The Story of a Pigeon is a good enough title to win any poll.
The first notable Indian-American author it seems!

Decline and Fall is a novel I might have gone for (instead of Quartet, say). Haven't read the Tanizaki or Schnitzler, or at least I don't think so. Must remedy.

Decline and Fall, like Scoop, is one of those never-fail recommendation novels.
