I've only read S and this poll expires too quickly for me to read the rest, so I'll abstain.

read rabbit! (rich is the best - my humble opinion, out of the four)

Should the Rabbit books be read in order? I can find Rabbit Redux on our shelves, but not Rabbit, Run. It's been added to my library list, though.

you really don't have to read it in order.
i started with redux, but do be aware that redux is the weakest of the 4 books!!

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

Roger's Version is a favourite of mine.

Rabbit at Rest is the one I prefer of the 4 Rabbit novels, and his last satisfactory novel.

A noticeable decline started with Memoirs of the Ford Administration.
