The pairing : a novel / by McQuiston, Casey,author.;
"Theo and Kit have been a lot of things: childhood best friends, crushes, in love, and now estranged exes. After a brutal breakup on the transatlantic flight to their dream European food and wine tour, they exited each other's lives once and for all. Time apart has done them good. Theo has found confidence as a hustling bartender by night and aspiring sommelier by day, with a long roster of casual lovers. Kit, who never returned to America, graduated as the reigning sex god of his pastry school class and now bakes at one of the finest restaurants in Paris. Sure, nothing really compares to what they had, and life stretches out long and lonely ahead of them, but -- yeah. It's in the past. All that remains is the unused voucher for the European tour that never happened, good for 48 months after its original date and about to expire. Four years later, it seems like a great idea to finally take the trip. Solo. Separately. It's not until they board the tour bus that they discover they've both accidentally had the exact same idea, and now they're trapped with each other for three weeks of stunning views, luscious flavors, and the most romantic cities of France, Spain, and Italy. It's fine. There's nothing left between them. So much nothing that, when Theo suggests a friendly wager to see who can sleep with their hot Italian tour guide first, Kit is totally game. And why stop there? Why not a full-on European hookup competition? But sometimes a taste of everything only makes you crave what you can't have"--

Not everybody lives the same way / by Dubois, Jean-Paul,1950-author.; Homel, David,translator.; translation of:Dubois, Jean-Paul,1950-Tous les hommes n'habitent pas le monde de la même façon.English.;
"Narrated by a man held for an unknown crime in a Montreal prison, this "affecting and nostalgic novel of lost happiness" (Agence-France Presse) was the winner of the Prix Goncourt. When the novel starts, Paul Hansen is incarcerated in a large and insalubrious prison on the outskirts of Montreal. He shares his cell with a much-feared Hells Angel called Patrick Horton, who is serving time for murder. Although it is unclear why Paul is in prison, his position as Patrick Horton's cell mate is precarious; he has a knife that could kill him at any moment. An evaluator regularly assesses Paul's behavior, but he shows no remorse for what he has done, and he will not be released until he does. So patiently, he must serve his time. Paul's story is told in alternating chapters, moving between his present incarceration and his life leading to this point. We meet his parents--free-spirited Anna, who is disgraced when her art house cinema shows the scandalous Deep Throat, and Johannes, the pastor of the local church who runs away for a new life in Quebec. We meet his lover, a seaplane pilot called Winona, who takes him up into the cloudless sky away from his penny-pinching, arrogant boss Edouard Sedgwick and the ageing residents of the luxury apartment building he was so diligently the caretaker to for 20 years. Not Everybody Lives the Same Way is a powerfully original and unusual book, whose troubled protagonist leads us to question what it takes to lead a dignified life"--Prix Goncourt for Fiction
