The pleasure of providing a satisfactory pleading was sufficient : my homeostasis is now fully restored ; there is no need to be understood :p

Thank you! I will be making a complete introduction as soon as I'll have gathered enough energy and patience to suffer the almost systematic french-english dictionnary browsing :lol: :flowers:

You shouldn't be so harsh with Houellebecq. He might be excessively cynical in his writings, but it is exactly what makes them interesting. His style, clinically cold and exempted from any sort of lyricism, makes truthful portrays of a socially and emotionally atrophied humanity. That is...

I haven't found time to read it yet but i've often heard that people who loved The master and margarita (like myself) also liked Heart Of Dog from the same writer.

Well i'm sorry to spoil your fun but this list is definately biased. Roughly 80% of those books are anglophone, which is ridiculous because you might not know it but there are many great books outside England and the States. I am not speaking as a Quebecer when i say this, in fact i don't...
