    Ok, so this is my grand list up till now (starting 1/1/2011):

    1. Die Marquise von O - Kleist
    2. Das Erdbeben in Chili - Kleist
    That's where I got fed up with German (too slow)
    3. Palace Walk - Naguib Mahfouz (SLOW!!)
    4. Now reading: Thérèse Raquin - Zola
    5. Planning after that: The Mayor of Casterbridge - Hardy (although I am not sure how much I will still fancy really sad stories after the current one. I may throw in the last of Austen...)
    6. Planning after that: Clarrissa. That looks like fun with a real god vilain and some corset ripping I am told.
    One has to laugh before being happy, because otherwise one risks to die before having laughed.

    "Je crains [...] que l'âme ne se vide à ces passe-temps vains, et que le fin du fin ne soit la fin des fins." (Edmond Rostand, Cyrano de Bergerac, Acte III, Scène VII)

    I'm reading Great Expectations, Moby Dick, and Uncle Tom's Cabin right now, the two latter ones for a class--I rarely read more than one book. So, I'll probably have a few to add all at once.
