Reading it in French? Larry Send a noteboard - 07/01/2010 11:58:28 AM
Yes, I know it's an easy read. But I've got a client with a gas field that's refinancing a loan, and another client delisting from NASDAQ, and yet another client opening a strip club, and a fourth client with a start-up high-tech company and I just don't know if I have enough reading time to finish it.

Part I of my French edition is 926 pages! I remember reading it several years ago in English and it being over 1100 pages long, but this seems to pale in comparison with the full French.

Oh well, it is rather digressive and clunky at times...

I'm coming to the conclusion it's just fluff masquerading as literature. Tom - 08/01/2010 05:29:23 AM 492 Views

I think the only thing I've read in its entirety in French was L'Histoire d'O. Tom - 08/01/2010 04:08:01 PM 529 Views
