This week end I decided to read a book by G. Simenon,  Maigret's Pipe,
one of my favourite short detective stories.  I was walking by U. Waterloo's
White Elephant (I mean the Arts Library) and decided to check there.
There was a listing for the story as part of a collection, so I went up
there.  Imagine my surprise to find about 80 books by Simenon, with over
50 Maigrets mysteries.   I have now read about 6 (in two days)  and I
think that I know how a junky feels with an overdose.

Warning: of course, two of these were in French...  as was the complete
works...  One of the benefits of having a "classical" approach to
literature here seems to be: if it is in a foriegn language, it has to be
good.  I also found a couple of murder mysteries by A. Christie en francais

P.S.- I wonder if there are any Japanese murder mysteries...
