As suplement to Mdame Bovary, I'm now reading Flaubert's correspondence, from a book Wendybeth graciously left behind. I've just started but already I think I'll get a better understanding of 19th Century French provincial life.

I'm not reading the book, but I am going to France in a couple of weeks. Does that count?

If you look at the type of literature being put out in the mid-nineteenth century it's easy to appreciate how controversial Bovary was. The book that €uro is reading details the develpment of the book over the course of years Flaubert spent working on it, and it's interesting to see how, when and why certain parts were done as they are. (It's also interesting to see what some of his original plans were as well).
