My first time reading the work of Don Delillo... and let me tell you, it was an unforgettable experience. Generally, when you read a book, you are transferred to a world that is something you wouldn't have otherwise known if the author hadn't put it to paper.

I would whole-heartedly recommend White Noise to anyone that stops to think about the recent developments in their less-than-ordinary American life.
