    At Bookman's. I got Chronic of a Death Foretold, Love in the Time of Cholera, and Madame Bovary by Flaubert (I love that name) which is the one in french


    This is how it came about:
    There was one copy of Madam Bovary I was looking at and I flipped through it and it was in english..as I expected

    and then I flipped through the front page of a few other copies to see if any of them were cheaper..and this particular copy was $3

    so I bought it, and it wasn't until I got into the car that I realized it was in french




    and that's the story

    I read Madame Bovary by Gustave Flaubert. I thought it was pretty good ...

    But yeah, you should get it changed since you don't read french :D
