Rereading Wul's Oms en série, the late 50s French sci-fi novel that the movie Fantastic Planet is based on.

I'm partially reading it because it's great language practice (my French is not very good) but also because I really like Wul. His stories are not much like American sci-fi. Not that they're intellectual in the realm of Lem or the Strugatskies, but... they go in directions someone (like myself) raised on American sci-fi doesn't expect. It's very interesting.
