Plenty of foreign books I see. I can't even finish books in English! *NM* Dark Knight Send a noteboard - 28/07/2010 03:39:38 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 1207 Views
oh my gosh. I just realized I don't have any. nossy - 28/07/2010 03:12:23 AM 907 Views
Quick! Buy one and leave it on your shelf! *NM* Dark Knight - 28/07/2010 03:21:32 AM 553 Views

Heh. Not so many, considering. *NM* Ghavrel - 28/07/2010 07:16:38 AM 458 Views

Oh come on. L'Etranger is short, and interesting. Legolas - 28/07/2010 10:27:33 AM 940 Views
It's not as short when you read it in a foreign language . *NM* Tim - 28/07/2010 12:18:47 PM 440 Views
True, but it's not too hard French either, as I recall. *NM* Legolas - 28/07/2010 01:10:21 PM 523 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 569 Views
Vraiment, et j'étudiais ce langue pour juste deux ans. Ghavrel - 28/07/2010 07:34:00 PM 874 Views
I still think it's ridiculous to claim you're bad at languages. Legolas - 28/07/2010 07:50:06 PM 1013 Views
Bull-headed perserverance isn't the same as skill. Ghavrel - 28/07/2010 09:27:06 PM 888 Views
Eh. Easily learning vocabulary isn't the same as skill, either. Legolas - 28/07/2010 09:46:02 PM 1378 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 926 Views

For grammar nerds, it's probably wishful thinking. *NM* Ghavrel - 31/07/2010 10:19:26 PM 453 Views
