After the crazy 20+ book January, this list seems really short. I blame it on Spanish.

2. Sherwood Anderson, Winesburg, Ohio
3. Jim Butcher, Side Jobs: Stories from the Dresden Files
4. Sean McMullen, Souls in the Great Machine

Stupeur et tremblements! We recently finished the same author's Métaphysique des tubes in my French class and I very nearly got Stupeur out of the library (story of my life apparently) as it seems to be kinda sorta a sequel of sorts. I imagine I would only find it okay, too, but I still might read it once classes are out. My French is not so hot but I find Nothomb's writing very easy to follow.

Yeah, oddly enough, Stupeur is a reread, I just had to ease myself into French, and I remembered reading it years ago and finding it easy. I got a couple of her other books out of the library. Got some Georges Simenon's Maigret books as well -- also pretty easy and fun, since it's mystery novels.
