Have downloaded the two Catherine Kindle samples and will check them out, thank you!

Fouché: I've had the Kindle sample since you recommended it, but the thing is...German is enough of a struggle for me still, that I have to be excited enough about the content to keep picking up the book and repeatedly engaging in the struggle, hour after hour, day after day. If you can get me excited to learn more about Fouché, I'll give the book a try! But right now I have no feelings about him either way, and Wikipedia is not exactly helping.
