What a great pity I didn't get round to reading any of these.
Instead I spent months trudging through the interminably lengthy, needlessly self-absorbed (if unusually and positively less pornographic than usual) new Houllebecq, the principal relief in which came in the final paragraph, wherein the author implied he was not going to write any more.

Can't wait for the 380th Christopher Hitchens collection, and another book explaining all the nuances behind Orwell's “If liberty means anything at all, it means the right to tell people things they do not want to hear."
