THE TALENTED MR. RIPLEY by Patricia Highsmith is also a great read and the novel is much, much better than the movie (and thankfully we don't have to put up with Gwyneth Paltrow in the novel!). I second DER TOD IN VENEDIG by Thomas Mann (DEATH IN VENICE).

Oh yes, Miss Garnett's Angel by Sally Vickers! It it the reson that we went to Venice last September and the reason that we are returning in March! She just makes the city come alive. I have read it 3 times. that's a record as I read constantly and rarely ever repeat. I found it the first time in our library and then ordered 2 copies from Amazon.com and have given them away now. READ IT!!!

Howard, I didn't say that THE MERCHANT OF VENICE was a novel. I was merely pointing out it was a piece of literature I had overlooked. Are you that picky? Because if you are, we can all take apart some of your responses on previous posts and then how would you feel?
