I was actually going to ask the same questions Tom Send a noteboard - 15/05/2013 01:04:21 AM

Of course, last year I followed up my Zola purchases (Les Rougon-Macquart and the other stories that don't follow the cycle, making up the 6 Pléiade volumes) with all of the Balzac fiction (La Comédie Humaine in 12 volumes, and two volumes of "Œuvres Diverses" from Pléiade). I haven't gotten around to the reading but I always assumed I would read Balzac in whatever order I felt like but try to read Zola following the series order.

Political correctness is the pettiest form of casuistry.

ἡ δὲ κἀκ τριῶν τρυπημάτων ἐργαζομένη ἐνεκάλει τῇ φύσει, δυσφορουμένη, ὅτι δὴ μὴ καὶ τοὺς τιτθοὺς αὐτῇ εὐρύτερον ἢ νῦν εἰσι τρυπώη, ὅπως καὶ ἄλλην ἐνταῦθα μίξιν ἐπιτεχνᾶσθαι δυνατὴ εἴη. – Procopius

Ummaka qinnassa nīk!
