Zola ...

Yeah, Emile Z.
Sort of decided back in October last year that I would start reading Zola, specifically the Rougon-Macquart collection. That is 20 books of classic French literature (see full list) which I've not had the opportunity to read despite my love for my native language.
So let's repair this injustice, I've read the first one and I'm reading 'La Curée'... no doubt it will take some time :)
