Not read Les Mis yet. The problem with those books is which translation to get. I think I mentioned about Thomas Mann and the wonderful translation of Magic Mountain by John Woods. I read 'The Brother's Karamazov' which was translated by Richard Pevear, and Larissa Volokhonsky , who translated the latest W&P and that was excellent as well.

As for Moby Dick; I just want to see what all the fuss is about. Bonkers really.]]> Await Your Reply: A Novel (Hardcover) by Dan Chaon]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/81413759 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1243009293s/6251222.jpg 1250525 Richard http://photo.goodreads.com/users/1216669786p2/1250525.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/user/show/1250525-richard Fri, 18 Dec 2009 12:19:22 -0800 http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/80783671 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1255598115s/1940878.jpg 1250525 Richard http://photo.goodreads.com/users/1216669786p2/1250525.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/user/show/1250525-richard Mon, 14 Dec 2009 10:36:02 -0800
'An American Tragedy' is another I've always meant to read. Another in the TBR pile!]]>
