If you want dead Belgian writers... Legolas Send a noteboard - 18/09/2011 09:18:52 PM
I read Malpertuis yesterday and thought it was excellent. He is a Belgian writer, albeit a dead one, ya know ;)

I highly recommend Marguerite Yourcenar's Memoires de Hadrien (reviewed it at the beginning of this year if you're curious).

Which I do believe is the only book by any French-language Belgian author I've read, ever (not counting comic books, obviously, as I've read probably hundreds of those, albeit nearly all in translation). Rather sad when you think about it... so maybe I should read Jean Ray, alright. :P

Er. Nice. I guess his talent really did not lie in poetry... Legolas - 18/09/2011 04:40:30 PM 476 Views
I was wondering if it was homosexual. Tom - 18/09/2011 05:30:49 PM 590 Views
Cloris is a female name, so yeah. But I wondered for a moment before reading it, as well. Legolas - 18/09/2011 06:41:17 PM 645 Views
It was Praxiteles' Aphrodite that made me change my mind. Tom - 18/09/2011 07:12:44 PM 589 Views
A "beard"? Legolas - 18/09/2011 08:10:04 PM 700 Views
A "beard" is a fake spouse for a gay person to hide that person's identity. Tom - 18/09/2011 08:51:36 PM 548 Views
Also, note the "swan of Padua" statement... *NM* Tom - 18/09/2011 11:08:15 PM 229 Views
I think it's exceptionally cool when they find things like this. Rebekah - 18/09/2011 05:54:20 PM 487 Views
Learn French! Tom - 18/09/2011 07:13:53 PM 508 Views
I'm supposed to be. Rebekah - 18/09/2011 07:35:52 PM 544 Views
It's hardly that easy. But I agree that she should. Legolas - 18/09/2011 08:12:01 PM 451 Views
Irish is never a sensible language to learn, unless Akkadian is sensible, too. Tom - 18/09/2011 08:54:48 PM 507 Views
I think Spanish makes more sense for Americans Larry - 18/09/2011 09:01:47 PM 608 Views
Note that I said "for educated English speakers" Tom - 18/09/2011 11:15:23 PM 662 Views

I'm not sure the society has decided what it wants to do with the tens of millions of Hispanics. Tom - 19/09/2011 12:56:55 AM 463 Views
I think you're probably right. Rebekah - 19/09/2011 08:39:08 PM 489 Views
I still think Spanish is easier than French, yes. As is Italian, I'd think (not that I speak it). Legolas - 18/09/2011 09:15:49 PM 606 Views
I think I was clear in my response to Larry, above. Tom - 18/09/2011 11:21:02 PM 634 Views
It is for sure DomA - 20/09/2011 01:28:49 AM 820 Views

I'm amused at the appearance of "baiser" Larry - 18/09/2011 08:39:43 PM 519 Views
One does wonder which meaning he intended. Legolas - 18/09/2011 08:51:37 PM 545 Views
Why not Jean Ray's writings? Larry - 18/09/2011 08:57:45 PM 644 Views
