The lovely letter B

You'll find the 'B' list below. Have a look and let me know, I'd like to make my decision and order the book on Friday--paycheck day!

1. Honore de Balzac A Harlot High and Low 4.10
2. Henri Barbusse Under Fire 3.74
3. Donald Barthelme Sixty Stories 4.34
4. Saul Bellow Humboldt's Gift 3.80
5. Giovanni Boccaccio The Decameron 3.81
6. Jorge Louis Borges Collected Fictions 4.62
7. Bertolt Brecht The Good Person of Szechwan 3.58

As I hope you remember, the grades next to each title are GoodReads.com rankings, that I will base my decision on, in case no other favorite emerges from a discussion.
When it comes to Saul Bellow, I had a really hard time making a choice--a selection of his writings published by Penguin is truly astonishing. I consulted multiple sources but, in the end, decided to go by my gut. We'll see.

Also, I might end up adding Isaiah Berlin's Russian Thinkers to my reading list, as a kind of non-fiction supplement to whatever I will end up reading. I guess I just need my monthly fix of all things Eastern European.
