Henry Miller

Has anyone here ever read any Henry Miller?

 

Someone on another forum told me that I'd possibly like him as I'm really enjoying Orwell's Down and Out in Paris and London, but [someone on] Wikipedia's opinion that "He was known for breaking with existing literary forms and developing a new sort of 'novel' that is a mixture of novel, autobiography, social criticism, philosophical reflection, surrealist free association, and mysticism, one that is distinctly always about and expressive of the real-life Henry Miller and yet is also fictional" makes me unsure (specifically the philosophical reflection, surrealist free association, and mysticism bit!).

 

I just wondered if anyone has any opinions on which of his books (if any!) I should look out for? Thanks in advance. :D
