I've read most of those, but didn't recognize them... although its just occured to me that the Snow Queen, by Joan D Vinge is the only novel I'd ever read in french. It was really really hard going, I was about 15, and was not an immersion student. Me thinks that I probably missed out on a LOT in the book.
