I did a comparative exercise once, where I compared Eco in Italian to Eco in English translation. I found the Italian more easy going than I had expected. That said, those were all books I had already read. I am not sure how well I would do with an all new one.
and then there's the fact you wouldn't have an English translation alongside it this time.

Happy May! What are you reading this month?

Looks like I'm going to be reading even more 19th century British literature...

Vanity Fair is marvelous - slightly too long, but marvelous. *NM*

A 19th century-themed month, and a feuilleton-themed month...

The Dutch translation has been out since early February, a quick Google tells me.
