I have started writing German reviews (on my German blog) about the books that haven't been translated into English. That will keep me busy for another decade, I guess.

I bought "The Prague Cemetery" when I saw it in a bookshop becaue I always wanted to read another book by him. Will have to see how I like it. I usually like hard books but there are a few that I didn't enjoy as much as I would have liked to. I definitely won't start it now before we have finished our Rushdie buddy read because I don't anticipate that to be an easy one.
