I remember reading White Noise years ago in college and liking it, but finding it a little over my head. Then I re-read it a while back after reading The Corrections (which reminded me of White Noise, just not as interesting) and suddenly it all clicked and I thought it was hilarious. It's not my fav DeLillo - I'd probably lean towards The Names, Pafko at the Bat or maybe Libra - but I can see why it's his most famous book. It's still been a long time since I read it, but my favourite scene is after Gladney's been rained on and he's talking to an Army guy who runs a test on him and explains that Gladney's going to die, but he can't tell him when. DeLillo plays it pretty straight, but the absurdity of the whole scene makes me smile whenever I think of it.
