I discovered Pennac some time last month, when I read The Scapegoat! It was hilarious, I looooved that book! Which now reminds me I need to find more of his work... Is it me or having a liseuse makes reading choices considerably more difficult? I'm trying to read all Colette and the Discworld series, there is also A Hitchhicker's Guide to Galaxy, Sade, 2000 Lieues Sous les Mers, Mark Twain in original version, plus the bunch of used p-books I already bought... And another ton of PD e-books I downloaded recently, and many MR member-made stories I have yet too read.
I'm off to read.
And thank you for reminding me of Pennac, I meant to go get a membership card of the BANQ (bibliothèque et archives nationales du Québec) for their e-book library, I'll borrow a few of his books while I'm there.
