Glad you've got a copy on the way because I think it's exceptional. Haven't seen <em>Fados</em> yet for some reason, but I enjoyed <em>Tango</em> and his flamenco doc for the dancing and the music in both. By the way, just about anything you share about the Serrano book will be news to me--all I know I learned from looking it up online a moment or two ago. From my biased point of view, that makes it a wonderful choice for Spanish Lit Month.

Although to be historically accurate, I did like the first U2 album OK when I was younger and more "tolerant" (i.e. before Bono decided he wanted to become Sinatra and U2 decided they wanted to become famous as "that band from the <em>Batman</em> soundtracks").

The event's running all month long, so no worries about a slow start or anything like that. Anyway, look forward to seeing what works you end up reading (the picaresque novels in particular intrigue me being as I'm a big fan of both <em>Lazarillo de Tormes</em> and Quevedo's <em>Buscón</em>) and will have to see what you read for German Lit Month--a fond memory that month was, to be sure.
