It's not too bad in French Larry Send a noteboard - 08/01/2010 07:29:50 PM
That is, if we're not counting magazines, newspapers, short stories, etc. I got halfway through some Sartre books and about 1/3 of the way through Les Miserables, but I always lost interest.


But yes, I'm struggling to maintain interest in it, since Dumas certainly wasn't the most graceful of writers in any language.

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