I've never met anyone who doesn't like Georges Simenon - and he left us about 70 short books to choose from! Other personal faves of mine = Patricia Highsmith, Graham Greene, Edith Wharton.
That is true, Simenon is an author you can recommend to anyone. I think I am a little bit nostalgic after having watched the tv-series when I was young. I have not read a lot of him, but like what I read.
I can only agree on Highsmith, Green and Wharton, great authors.
I haven't heard of quite a few of your books but I watched #2 and read #s 4 and 8, of course, everyone read Animal Farm, I suppose.
As I wrote before, I have read The Map of Chaos by Felix J. Palma which is based on the Invisible Man. I did read other books by Octavia E. Butler and Mario Vargas Llosa whom I espcially like.
Yes, one was your recommendations. I was surprised to read Austen's take of the English history. I think she was well into knowing a lot about history. I am thinking that some of her arguments are what we are talking about today. Maybe they have been around for a longer time than you think.
Both Butler and Vargas Llosa are new to me. I read so many good reviews on Butler's books so I just have to try one, or three since they are collected in the version I have. I hope to like them although I am not a sci-fi fan. For VL, well it is about time that I read one of his books. Furthermore, it is translated into Swedish by a former colleague of mine.
Yes, it was interesting to see what someone two hundred years ago thought about their history. And I thought you might have read that after I wrote about it.
If "Kindred" is not one of the books in your trilogy, you can read my review here:
Vargas Llosa is an author I discovered through a Mexican friend. Later hew as awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature and I read more by him. He is a great writer though some of his books are pretty tough (esp. The Feast of the Goat which is based on true events). But I'm sure you will manage.

I have not read many authors from South America, so that is something I have to get more into. I am looking forward to this one, and maybe I will continue with other books by him. It is always nice to find new, interesting authors.
I have read a few books by South American authors (mainly García Marquez and Allende, of course, they are the most commonly known) and about South and Central America.
You can always find my books under the countries or continents. Here is the one for S.A.

Great tips, thank you. I have just started the book, but it looks promising.
