A lot. Ghavrel Send a noteboard - 28/07/2010 03:35:05 AM
The two that are perennially unfinished are The Silmarillion and A Canticle for Leibowitz. The Name of the Rose was one, but I've finished it! Hurrah!

So, currently unfinished books...

La Communauté de l'anneau (I despair of ever finishing this)
L'Étranger (didn't have to finish it for school, so I never did)
Foucault's Pendulum
Imagining India
Lilith

Those are off the top of my head.

How many unfinished books do you have laying around? Dark Knight - 28/07/2010 03:09:29 AM 1096 Views
oh my gosh. I just realized I don't have any. nossy - 28/07/2010 03:12:23 AM 776 Views
Quick! Buy one and leave it on your shelf! *NM* Dark Knight - 28/07/2010 03:21:32 AM 503 Views

Plenty of foreign books I see. I can't even finish books in English! *NM* Dark Knight - 28/07/2010 03:39:38 AM 442 Views
Heh. Not so many, considering. *NM* Ghavrel - 28/07/2010 07:16:38 AM 403 Views
considering? *NM* random thoughts - 29/07/2010 01:22:57 PM 462 Views
Oh come on. L'Etranger is short, and interesting. Legolas - 28/07/2010 10:27:33 AM 826 Views
It's not as short when you read it in a foreign language . *NM* Tim - 28/07/2010 12:18:47 PM 384 Views
True, but it's not too hard French either, as I recall. *NM* Legolas - 28/07/2010 01:10:21 PM 464 Views
Ça, c'est vrai. Mais c'est bien plus difficile que la langue maternelle du lecteur. *NM* Tim - 28/07/2010 03:10:50 PM 504 Views
Vraiment, et j'étudiais ce langue pour juste deux ans. Ghavrel - 28/07/2010 07:34:00 PM 777 Views
I still think it's ridiculous to claim you're bad at languages. Legolas - 28/07/2010 07:50:06 PM 908 Views
Bull-headed perserverance isn't the same as skill. Ghavrel - 28/07/2010 09:27:06 PM 774 Views
Eh. Easily learning vocabulary isn't the same as skill, either. Legolas - 28/07/2010 09:46:02 PM 1243 Views

I guess you're an exception to what we were saying about people not knowing their own grammar. Legolas - 02/08/2010 12:29:15 PM 810 Views
Not really... DomA - 04/08/2010 02:02:12 PM 1107 Views
