On a Day Like This, by Peter Stamm

Hmmm, this book reminds me of The Reader by Bernhard Schlink, though the story is quite different. It's just about a very European and angsty man.

Beyond that, it's a story of coasting through life in an emotion-free zone until shocked out of it by the possibility of change and the discovery that everything that has happenend in the past decade has been a holding pattern. Oh, and it's about love. I think. And it takes place (mostly) in Paris.
