A bit late with this, as usual these days. 50 books were read/re-read in various languages, including a 10 book re-reading (and two new translation reads) of Antoine de Saint-Exupéry's The Little Prince in various languages. Not much detail this time, since I plan on crashing soon after posting this.
334 Tom Perrotta, The Leftovers (excellent)
335 Michel Bernanos, La montagne morte de la vie (French; new translation appears in The Weird; very good)
336 Clark Ashton Smith, Xiccarph (Ballantine Adult Fantasy edition; very good)
337 Justin Torres, We the Animals (outstanding debut, more later)
338 A.D. Miller, Snowdrops (bland, rather forgettable Booker Prize nominee)
339 Dino Buzzati, Il deserto dei Tartari (re-read; Italian; excellent)
340 A.D. Jameson, Amazing Adult Fantasy (good)
341 Zoran Živković, Knjiga (Serbian, very good)
342 Zoran Živković, Čitalelja (Serbian, excellent)
343 Zoran Živković, The Writer/The Book/The Reader (re-read; I really need to write more formal reviews of Živković's work in the future)
344 Charles Perrault, Histoires ou Contes du temps passé (French; classic edition of French fairy tales from the 17th century)
345 Dino Buzzati, Poema a fumetti (re-read; Italian; graphic novel; moving retelling of the Orpheus and Eurydice story)
346 Max Ernst, Une Semaine de Bonte (re-read; French; illustration-novel; seminal surrealist work)
347 Javier Marías, Tu rostro mañana: 1 Fiebre y lanza (Spanish; brilliant)
348 Zoran Živković, Most (Serbian, very good)
349 Zoran Živković, The Bridge (re-read; very good)
350 Javier Marías, Tu rostro mañana: 2 Baile y sueño (Spanish; outstanding)
351 Javier Marías, Tu rostro mañana: 3 Veneno y sombra y adiós (Spanish; one of the best literary trilogies of the 21st century)
352 Dino Buzzati, Il Meglio dei Racconti (Italian; collection of the best of Buzzati's short fiction; excellent)
353 Gonçalo M. Tavares, Learning to Pray in the Age of Technique (read this in translation due to unavailability of the Portuguese original; very well-written)
354 Vladimir Sorokin, Day of the Oprichnik (decent, but not great)
355 Jean Ray, Malpertuis (French; Ray's only novel; very good)
356 Javier Marías, Your Face Tomorrow: Fever and Spear (I read the translations for a possible future project; very good translation)
357 Javier Marías, Your Face Tomorrow: Dance and Dream (see comment above)
358 Chad Harbach, The Art of Fielding (excellent debut novel)
359 Alexander Maksik, You Deserve Nothing (good)
360 Colson Whitehead, The Colossus of New York (outstanding)
361 Denis Johnson, Train Dreams (very good)
362 Amy Waldman, The Submission (very good debut novel)
363 Javier Marías, Los enamoramientos (Spanish; worthy novel to follow Tu rostro mañana)
364 Javier Marías, Your Face Tomorrow: Poison, Shadow and Farewell (see earlier comment)
365 Tom Perrotta, Senior Season (good novella)
366 Rubén Mendoza, Lotería and Other Stories (good story collection)
367 Robert Coover, A Night in the Movies (good collection, but some stories were flat for me)
368 Jean Ray, Les Contes du Whisky (French; early collection; very good stories revolving around whiskey at some point)
369 Ann and Jeff VanderMeer, The Weird (as I have a translation in this, I'm too biased to say anything but how excellent this antho is – even if I didn't have a stake in it, I would have said the same for this massive 750,000 word anthology of a century of weird fiction)
370 Esi Edugyan, Half Blood Blues (decent but not very good Booker Prize nominee)
371 Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, Le Petit Prince (re-read; French; sentimental favorite)
372 Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, El petit príncep (Catalan; same thoughts)
373 Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, Regulus: Vel Pueri Soli Sapiunt (re-read; Latin; same thoughts)
374 Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, Mali Princ (re-read; Serbian; same thoughts)
375 Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, Il Piccolo Principe (re-read; Italian; same thoughts)
376 Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, A Kis Herceg (re-read; Hungarian; same thoughts)
377 Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, Der Kleine Prinz (re-read; German; same thoughts)
378 Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, O Principerzinho (Portuguese; same thoughts)
379 Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, El Principito (re-read; Spanish; same thoughts)
380 Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, The Little Prince (re-read; English; same thoughts)
381 Mercé Rodoreda, The Selected Stories of Mercé Rodoreda (translation from Catalan; excellent story collection released earlier this year)
382 Thomas Ligotti, My Work is Not Yet Done (re-read; already reviewed)
383 Sebastian Rotella, Triple Crossing (good fictionalization of the US-Mexican gang border wars and human trafficking)
384 Daniel Abraham, The Dragon's Path (good start to a new epic fantasy series)
385 Vladimir Nabokov, Despair (not Nabokov's best, but still quite good)
I know October is almost done, but I should have around 51 or 52 entries for that month whenever I get to it in November. Looking more and more likely that I will have read over 500 books/e-books by year's end, one of my two best reading years. Any of these you want to know more about or want to weigh in with your opinion?
