I only use this blog to keep track of my book reading.

Guy Gavriel Kay, A Brightness Long Ago. Excellent fictionalized novel with the Palio in Siena!

Georges Simenon, Le passager du “Polarlys”. I was unimpressed. Enjoyed the French. I guess at the time the world-weary captain in the frozen north and the semi-debauchery of the criminal may have been thrilling.

Guy de Maupassant, Bel-Ami. Enjoyed the French, and the sociology of the times, and the profile and evolution of an unlikable and dubious yet sympathetic (to be reader) hero.

Roberto Bolaño, Estrella Distante. 2nd time reading. Excellent.
