Books by Michel Houellebecq

4. Pre-order the new Houllebecq .

Here you can buy The Stand for $8.30 , by the way I love Houllebecq but the new one isn’t very interesting, as sadly it reads like a parody of his earlier, superior work. Submission remains one of the truly great novels of recent times.

That is the new Michel Houellebecq book, available from UK Amazon , out January in the US .  It is worth the shipping costs.  Yet, while waiting for it to arrive, I saw a copy on sale in Rome, above a PPP price.  In my desire to read it sooner rather than later I bought it, that was worth it too.  It’s worth both prices put together, and then some, at pretty much any dollar/euro exchange rate or any dollar/pound sterling exchange rate, you can imagine.
