Houellebecq Redux
Technorati led me to a fine post on Infinite Thought about Michel Houellebecq, from which I will only quote this laugh out loud moment:
One of the best lines for a while in the Houellebecq. The narrator, Daniel, is sitting with a friend of his at a Thomson Holidays club "Miss Bikini" contest in Lanzarote: "I threw a despairing look at Vincent: he was as much at home in this seaside spectacle as Samuel Beckett in a rap video".

There’s a good joke about Paul Valery in Atomised, on p242 according to my notes, though I didn’t note down the joke
Someone else closer to home posted something about MH recently. Yes, I read him. You must be so proud of me!
