I was suspecting that: I studied some other Camus in school, but not that one. Tim Send a noteboard - 11/01/2010 09:02:04 AM
Tom: why not read it in French? If you don't like it, then at least you've taxed your brain just that little bit more, which should make it more enjoyable. And if you do like it, then you'll have read it in the original, which is always better.

Well, if Tim can post his planned reads for 2010, so can I. Tom - 11/01/2010 02:34:47 AM 931 Views
I doubt it quite the same ways that book seems to have for you Larry - 11/01/2010 03:43:37 AM 864 Views
"Invitation to a Beheading" is the translated title *NM* Tom - 11/01/2010 03:55:06 AM 310 Views
Ah, I was wondering if it might be that one (obviously, I know very little Russian) Larry - 11/01/2010 04:04:14 AM 796 Views
I liked 1776. Darth_Katie - 11/01/2010 04:00:03 AM 862 Views
John Adams sounded good, but I've vowed to limit book-buying. Tom - 11/01/2010 01:41:50 PM 823 Views
Re: I liked 1776 and try The Johnstown Flood. One of my best reads for last year *NM* Nolan - 11/01/2010 03:33:24 PM 388 Views
Cool, I'll put it on the list. *NM* Darth_Katie - 11/01/2010 05:23:21 PM 392 Views

Well, then I'd have to buy it in French, and that gets me back to my old problem: Tom - 11/01/2010 01:42:35 PM 702 Views
Y'a pas de bonnes bibliothèques avec une section "Langues Étrangères" à New York? Tim - 11/01/2010 02:11:33 PM 760 Views
I'm too lazy to respond in French. Tom - 11/01/2010 02:37:41 PM 807 Views
Looks like you win. Can't find it on fnac.com either. Tim - 11/01/2010 02:55:10 PM 858 Views
I just can't justify buying a book I would want to keep in paperback. Tom - 11/01/2010 03:53:06 PM 798 Views
I would have thought "it's not available in hardback" was a good justification... *NM* Tim - 11/01/2010 03:55:56 PM 352 Views
Not for a book that I am sure is in hardcover somewhere... Tom - 11/01/2010 03:59:08 PM 772 Views
Are you sure it's in hardcover somewhere? *NM* Tim - 11/01/2010 04:00:54 PM 368 Views
It's a classic. How could it not be? Tom - 11/01/2010 04:03:07 PM 724 Views
Why would one do a new edition of a book that old - and that short - in hardcover? Legolas - 11/01/2010 05:00:04 PM 806 Views
Because it's a classic. Tom - 11/01/2010 05:06:51 PM 723 Views
I see. Legolas - 11/01/2010 05:46:06 PM 866 Views

That's so sad! Tom - 12/01/2010 11:27:37 PM 696 Views
They do, but the price seems to be even steeper than that. Legolas - 12/01/2010 11:37:45 PM 872 Views

Can you let me know what you think of 1776? Tim - 11/01/2010 09:13:58 AM 908 Views
Re: Can you let me know what you think of 1776? snoopcester - 11/01/2010 11:29:22 AM 729 Views
I had skimmed a part of it previously Tom - 11/01/2010 01:45:20 PM 740 Views
Oh, and regarding another of your points Tom - 11/01/2010 02:49:26 PM 909 Views
That's some pretty assonance . Tim - 11/01/2010 02:56:20 PM 877 Views
It's pretty straightforward Tom - 11/01/2010 03:57:41 PM 721 Views
Re: Well, if Tim can post his planned reads for 2010, so can I. snoopcester - 11/01/2010 11:32:53 AM 816 Views
I have a lot more on my "to read one day" list, but I don't want to read them all in one year. Tom - 11/01/2010 01:46:59 PM 770 Views
I assumed you would have... I just didn't have anything more interesting to say *NM* snoopcester - 11/01/2010 02:59:30 PM 368 Views
Try "Did you know sheep have no gag reflex?" next time. Tom - 11/01/2010 04:01:54 PM 736 Views
