I restarted “Pale Fire from the beginning a few days ago and finished Canto 3 of the poem yesterday. And thanks to recommendations I also bought myself a nice printed English edition of “Lolita” for a future reading.

I just finished Serotonin by Houllebecq. The beggining is a bit stale, but it gets a lot more interesting towards the later half of the story. Depressing as frick though, why do I keep reading this stuff?
I also have read both Pale Fire and Lolita, Nabokov's writing is really good. I should read more of his stuff eventually.

I read “Soumission”
and thought it was great. Houellebecq works seem to be all about societal decay from the point of view of middle aged men.

I have that one by my side, it's going to be my next read probably, either that or Steppenwolf.
A lot of the stuff he writes ressonates with me, which makes the books even more depressing

Go with Soumission, the ending is fantastic, without spoiling it, the book is basically the “Islam is right about X” meme
