Saul Bellow, the Canadian born US author and winner of the 1976 Nobel prize of literature, has died at the age of 89.

I have read only six of his novels: The Victim(1947), Seize the Day(1956), Mr. Sammler´s Planet(1970), A Theft(1989), The Bellarosa Connection(1989) and Something to Remember Me By(1991). Quite enjoyable, but his longer works were less easily approachable to me, they were works that didn´t seem to go anywhere, and... well, they stalled, and I haven´t finished any of them that I have started to read. And that´s my shame.
