Just back from the public library, where I gave back the Larsson (unfinished) and a graphic novel by Joann Sfar. I still have the Seneca and will have to give it back soon, although I'm barely at letter 23 out of about a hundred I think. I'm planning to finish the foreword at least, which is very interesting, and I bought an e-book version of the letters to Lucilius so that I can finish them in my own time.

I brought back from the library another Joann Sfar, and a book by Olivier Rolin that I was considering buying as an e-book (overpriced of course) and found by chance. I downloaded the first chapter and liked it a lot, it's called "Baku, last days" and is a tale of his visit in his city in 2009. He went there because a fortune teller told him that if he traveled to Baku in 2009, he would die he once wrote a short story describing his suicide in a hotel room in Baku in 2009. So of course, he had to go there in 2009 and see what happened.

Also visited the BoB store in preparation for my holidays, and I wanted to buy 3 books but they checked my IP address and found out I'm not in the U.S. so I could only buy one of the three, "The City and the City" by China Miéville.
