I read Houellebecq's The Possibility of an Island. Found it to be intermittently engaging, but it did not succeed as a novel.
Perhaps the original French version, La Possibilité d'une île, is a masterpiece.
The English translation at any rate was mediocre as literature, albeit of interest from a philosophical and political perspective.
