What is /lit/ reading at the moment?

In between finishing off assignments and preparing for exams, I haven't really been able to do much reading apart from set texts. But I picked up a first edition hardcover Maupassant anthology called 'Tales of Passion' from a secondhand bookstore recently (the first edition of that translation, is what I mean; it wasn't around when Maupassant was still kicking), so I've been reading that. Previously I had only read Pierre et Jean and Bel Ami, both of which I loved, so I was interested to see how I found his short story work, as that is what he is famed for; I'd read Boule de Suif briefly, but only really skimming over it while I was tired and bored, so I didn't take it in. And I'm quite enjoying it so far. I admire an author if s/he is able to inject nuance and meaning into the most banal occurrences, so French realism is up there on my list. (this isn't at all to say I don't also draw pleasure from the fantastic, though)

What about you, /lit/?
