I'm missing copies of Gargantua & Pantagruel and Gulliver's Travels, which I want to read soon. Also have Voltaire's Micromégas & L'Ingénu sitting in my Amazon cart for the day when I can use it to get over the free shipping threshold.
Really I need more bookshelf capacity before I need books.

The bookseller at the market made an effort to stock up on a load of bernhard stuff (you never really see his stuff around ime, weirdly) so I keep buying them all up even though they're pretty pricy for 2ndhand books - still cheaper than Amazon tho Anyway he's got the lovely illustrated Victor Halfwit selling for £20 and every time I walk through I stare at it for several minutes before walking on - there's a part of my brain that insists I need to keep buying the bernhard books that this guy sells, simply because I started doing so, but at the same time I know I can't justify paying that for a story it would take half an hour to read.

Gibbon's Decline and Fall (the 3 ed. complete set)
No idea how I'll resist this though:
Past @CullmanNYPL Fellow Damion Searls has translated Anniversaries by Uwe Johnson from the original German, quite a feat! @nyrbclassics is publishing it as a 2 vol boxed set in Oct 2018, and until then we have this beautiful excerpt, “The End of Summer, 1967”. pic.twitter.com/xdRp91SEGj— The Cullman Center (@CullmanNYPL) January 9, 2018

I'm assuming the first one is no less than brilliant. What about the second?

After Micromegas, try Adam Roberts: Swiftly, which is a sequel to both that and Gulliver's Travels

Been curious about Roberts but have thus far not read a thing
