Book VII: Boule De Suif & Selected Stories, Guy De Maussant, Stories published from 1880-1890, 283 pages
Taking a break from English Literature I picked up this collection of short stories by Guy De Maussant. I cant remember the last time I read anything from the French and the last time I gave short stories a run was last December. I get a kick out of short stories and French writing is so erotic, even back then. Maussant was the protege of the renowned author of Madame Bovary, Gustave Flaubert. Madame Bovary being one of my all time favorite books I figured I had to check out the works of Maussant. Im about half way through already considering I started the book before my long trip home and did nothing but read for most of it. So far I am enjoying it.
Summary of Book VI: Great Expectations
For whatever reason Dickens is an author I have read very scarce. Considering he is one of the greatest of his time that is rather sad. That being said I found Great Expectations to be an enthralling read. I could not put the book down. The characters are all so unique and the plot amazing to the last sentence. If you have left this book out as I did for so long it is time to pick it up. You wont be sorry.
Fuck the French. They suck.
They write some sexy ass shit though. I was so horny reading this on the plane I almost raped the flight attendant in the lavatory.
