I was both serious and joking.
If you're not familiar with the work of Henry James, may I respectfully suggest some of his short stories, or perhaps a novel from his Middle Phase [Period].
I mention this because I would hate for you to be turned off of him due to one of his more cryptic, later novels. I think he's one of the 2-3 greatest novelists in the English Language.
