I'll take that as achievement in hurting some American's delicate perception of himself.

I also take it for granted you were forced to read Madamma for some school related activity, so do yourself a favour and pick Salammbo at very least, to see what he can achieve on his own.

>he naturally assumes I'm American and takes pride in "hurting" me

Someone has a complex.

And I like Flaubert btw but he's nowhere near that good. You are trying too hard.

Shakespeare 3 times
Melville twice
