Norman Mailer: Dead at 84

As most of you literary buffs have probably heard by now, literary great and Pulitzer Prize winner Norman Mailer has died. According to a CNN article, Mailer was a very prolific writer:

He wrote constantly: novels, screenplays, articles (he was a key figure in the "New Journalism" movement of the 1960s), poems, polemics. He co-founded the Village Voice. He was married six times.

I guess he was also prolific in the marriage department as well. I can honestly say that I’ve never read any of Mailer’s work, but I’ve been intrigued by him in the past. Maybe this will prompt me to pick up one of his books during my next visit to the bookstore. Any suggestions?
