But I would also recommend <i>The Heart of Darkness</i> as a starting place. I don't get Conrad, either. But ironic distance is his specialty.

I would start with Heart of Darkness, I think. But this was very good; it would certainly not turn you off Conrad to begin here. I definitely want to read more of him though as I like what I've seen so far but don't feel like I completely "get" him yet.

Would you recommend starting with one or the either, or something else entirely? Now I have yet to read a single Conrad, I own Heart of Darkness, but have heard good things about The Secret Sharer.
