Je me rends

My pal dovegreyreader has been talking up Amelie Nothomb, a writer whom she admires. She and The Bluestalking Reader tend to be binge readers and they have both been posting of late about Nothomb as they read their way through her entire oeuvre.

Should I read her too? How to decide?

Today when I checked in on Ex Libris, lo, I found she too has posted about Amelie Nothomb. So what could I do? Obviously, Everyone Who Reads is reading la belge.

And so I have ordered Stupeur et tremblements from amazon.com. It's been a while since I've read anything in French more rigorous than Tintin, so this may be a challenge. I'll let you know how I do.
