Gulliver's Travels (a book of which it can safely be said that pretty much everyone knows the concept--and many people have seen the cartoon--but very few have actually read it; they're missing out, it's superb) and Congreve's The Way of the World.
I have published four novels and two academic books; forthcoming in 2014 is "Reading Style: A Life in Sentences." I teach in the Department of English and Comparative Literature at Columbia University.
