I started with Flaubert A Simple Heart on the rest day in Briancon last year. He is briliant. @amey should get the Poe. He has one other book and I know that would fit.
These, apart from the Faulkner, are all my wife's. Many of them are not read: I don't get what she likes about male writers from that era, they're so self-interested. I tried to read the Wind up Bird Cronicle and couldn't. Then again, I like sweeping narratives, the 19thC and morals: George Eliot, Flaubert, Conrad
