8. Heinrich Heine (Everyman Poetry Library), tr. Cram & Reed

Am I remembering that right? Cram? Wow.

Translation seemed fine. I like Heine.

9. Memories of My Melancholy Whores

First Marquez I've actually gotten through, which isn't saying much - this is a sparsely printed gift-size book. And really, disarmingly lovely. He makes silly and otherwise dubious things feel perfectly respectable.

I've been reading such light things, and short ones. Time to open my Desmond book, Resurrection.
