First read The Sirian Experiments followed by Shikasta and Marriages many years ago, so long ago that I thought they were a trilogy. lolol.

Also randomly read the Good Terrorist but don't recall much.

In 2014 read The Cleft borrowed from the mobile county library van. Unique book and good read also.
