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'm still waiting for a copy from my Library.

I'm number 11, in line with 14 holds, on 22 copies!

Must be a good book, as you say, with this much traffic. I've had it on hold, for 3 weeks now. :o)

How did you come across this author? I'm in the middle of Angel's Game and hooked.

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. :)

Our rabbi strongly recommended these books when we were over at their house for Shabbat dinner back in December.

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

Now I have to ask how he came across them.
