Luckily, Mencken can be read at around 8-20 pages a day, skipping several days Larry Send a noteboard - 28/12/2011 07:15:13 AM
My goal is 6 books in Italian and at least 5 in each of French and German. I still haven't decided on the second part of my challenge, which will be either

(a) the WWI/WWII and inter-war years reading

OR

(b) perfecting ancient Egyptian and exhaustively reading through all unread books on Egypt in my library (that would almost certainly bleed into 2013)

Luckily, I have a few days yet to decide.


If you do a), that would interest me even more, since that was the area I concentrated on for my MA. I would be interested in your thoughts on b) as well, but I have little desire to learn that language anytime soon - it would take half a lifetime just to get to a third of the languages you read! :D

I may read a Faulkner novel next year, and more if I like it. - 25/12/2011 12:33:06 AM 579 Views

Funny, I'm finishing up The Sound and the Fury right now. *NM* - 27/12/2011 10:16:05 PM 465 Views
It sounds interesting, but... - 27/12/2011 10:28:10 PM 560 Views
There'll also be translated fiction discussions (or rather I discuss certain works in the original) - 28/12/2011 02:14:00 AM 621 Views
I will keep you posted. I may read Mencken in 2012 at your suggestion as well. - 28/12/2011 03:52:11 AM 567 Views
