Extension du domaine de la lutte
Les Particules élémentaires
Plateforme
La possibilité d'une île
La carte et le territoire

I started with Elementary Particles since my french isn't up to speed yet for his level. Can't comment on his french prose, but by the translation it's a very good novel. Just don't expect any of his books to be stories; more recounts of events.

I'm reading Possibility of an Island and holy fuck this might just be one of the worst books I've ever read. Does the ending redeem it in any form whatsoever cause if not I've just wasted a lot of time on this shit. This is coming from someone that loved Platform and Atomised btw.
