Going to start early while I wait for my other library books to come in.
La Maison de Claudine: Claudine's House by Colette. My old library copy is titled "My Mother's House" and "Sido". I previously read her Claudine at School (not a list book).

Forgot to add this and I've already finished it. Loved it!"
I have the first volume in Japanese, have yet to read it.
Started Metamorfoses.
Just started The Book of Daniel by E. L. Doctorow. This will be my 4th of his but of the prior three only Ragtime was a list book.

I did enjoy it, but you definitely need to read something lighter after that one.

Cocaine Nights by J.G. Ballard

This is such a great book, Alice, I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!
