Maurice Druon - The Accursed Kings Legolas - 13/12/2010 08:19:21 PM 7705 Views
Thank you for giving this review - I had forgotten the name of the author and series. Tom - 13/12/2010 09:29:59 PM 1575 Views
You're welcome (and thanks for the correction, edited). Legolas - 13/12/2010 10:23:55 PM 1610 Views
I know it's not "literary". (EDITED) Tom - 13/12/2010 10:42:33 PM 1506 Views
Subjunctive imperfect, yeah. Legolas - 13/12/2010 10:51:34 PM 1582 Views
And with regard to your edit, I don't have a problem with passé simples myself. Legolas - 13/12/2010 10:53:59 PM 1935 Views
But how can one read any French literature at all without encountering the passé simple? Tom - 15/12/2010 03:39:37 AM 1734 Views
The point is it is a "literary" tense Camilla - 15/12/2010 10:19:59 AM 1718 Views
Why would I read a lower style of book (I won't use the term "literature" to describe them) ? Tom - 16/12/2010 06:11:36 AM 1517 Views
I don't want to start a fight here, but your attitude is seriously starting to grate. Legolas - 16/12/2010 06:54:30 PM 1785 Views
I don't care. Start a fight. Tom - 16/12/2010 08:24:22 PM 1687 Views
Well, or we can have a civil debate on French culture, I suppose... also fun. Legolas - 16/12/2010 09:09:20 PM 1676 Views
Well, I'm up for that, too. Tom - 17/12/2010 05:48:39 AM 1660 Views
Good. Legolas - 17/12/2010 09:01:37 PM 2016 Views
Ah - I support the subjunctive!!! Tom - 18/12/2010 05:10:38 AM 1880 Views
TANGENT Rebekah - 18/12/2010 09:56:31 AM 1769 Views
This whole conversation is just a pile of tangents, anyway. *NM* Legolas - 18/12/2010 01:30:09 PM 802 Views
I enjoy the tangent. Tom - 21/12/2010 12:43:23 AM 1434 Views
But you don't think its disappearance corresponds to a decline in American culture? Legolas - 18/12/2010 01:29:43 PM 1663 Views
I read Der Zauberberg in English already. Tom - 21/12/2010 12:48:16 AM 1500 Views
About the passé simple, what Camilla said. As for medieval vocabulary... Legolas - 15/12/2010 07:17:44 PM 1687 Views
"Ne...point" is used in Stendhal all the time. Tom - 16/12/2010 06:08:40 AM 1559 Views
That looks like a really fascinating series. Rebekah - 13/12/2010 10:56:52 PM 1629 Views
Step up your French lessons!!! Tom - 13/12/2010 11:50:21 PM 1820 Views
That is a great reason to learn French. Legolas - 14/12/2010 07:29:54 PM 1541 Views
Re: That is a great reason to learn French. Rebekah - 14/12/2010 08:13:59 PM 1557 Views
Fancier English often turns out to be French, of course. *NM* Tom - 17/12/2010 06:41:19 PM 882 Views
Ooooh Camilla - 14/12/2010 07:41:03 PM 1471 Views
I'm really not quite sure how you managed that. Legolas - 14/12/2010 08:09:55 PM 1620 Views
Re: I'm really not quite sure how you managed that. Camilla - 14/12/2010 08:13:48 PM 1526 Views
I meant Bertière, yeah. Dumas works too, though. Legolas - 14/12/2010 08:18:30 PM 1598 Views
