Just started The Pursuit of Love by Nancy Mitford. I also have The Radetzky March by Joseph Roth and Middlemarch by George Eliot under way.

by Slavenka Drakulic of Croatia. It's a dark story.

The Joke by Milan Kundera (who died last year, 94 years old). I think the best memorial tribute you can make to an author is to read one of their books.
