Nah not really, I was asking you this same question last year remember? Loved Sin noticias de Gurb btw, took me a while to read it because my Spanish isn't all that great and I was annotating the book as I went, but it was really funny. I plan to read it again sometime soon, should be much easier and flow better this time. I think I got all the Mendozas in that torrent so I might try another of his next, you read anything else by him?
I think Gurb might be the only novel i've read in Spanish by an actual Spanish author. Someone got me the paperback of Carlos Ruis Zafon's 'La sombra del viento' for my birthday but still only 50 pages in and I got tired of hefting that huge book around town on the way to work, went back to the kindle...
Sounds like the Kindle is the answer to your book mountain problem. Like You, I was a sceptic but I've not looked back since I got one.
Funny you should mention it, my girlfriend bought Mendoza's new novel in FNAC about four hours ago. I haven't read any others but she says the trilogy that starts with El misterio de la cripta embrujada is brilliant, a bonkers spoof-detective story
she also just chipped in to say that Ruiz Zafon is shit, I've no idea about that
anyway, glad you liked Gurb. I occasionally visit the Churreria on Calle Petrixol that he can't stay away from
