Another one-and-a-half down

[rhu]

Over Shabbat I finished The Shadow of the Wind by Carlos Ruiz Zafon. It was a very good book, although not as strong as the exceptional The Angel's Game. Still, both books are good enough that now that they're back at the library I'm going to buy them.

I also tried to read Manon Lescaut on the basis of it being featured in one of the Wimsey mysteries. Got about 1/4 of the way in before deciding enough was enough.

I read Manon Lescaut for French class, at a time when the level of French was a struggle. Wasn't impressed at the time...not sure what I'd make of it now. :)

I have no French; I was reading the translation available on Project Gutenberg.
