Flaubert's Parrot - Julian Barnes
There seems to be some dispute over whether or not you can call this a novel. I think it's not, not really - it's some interesting stufd about Flaubert and art stretched over the warp of a character study. But no matter, we can all come together and call it a book, I'm sure. One thing's certain, Barnesy (as I and no one else calls him) can write, and those who can write are worth reading.
A History of the World in 10 1/2 Chapters looks interesting - anyone?
