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 884 Views
I doubt it quite the same ways that book seems to have for you Larry - 11/01/2010 03:43:37 AM 810 Views
"Invitation to a Beheading" is the translated title *NM* Tom - 11/01/2010 03:55:06 AM 292 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 748 Views
I liked 1776. Darth_Katie - 11/01/2010 04:00:03 AM 818 Views
John Adams sounded good, but I've vowed to limit book-buying. Tom - 11/01/2010 01:41:50 PM 781 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 374 Views
Cool, I'll put it on the list. *NM* Darth_Katie - 11/01/2010 05:23:21 PM 369 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 655 Views
Y'a pas de bonnes bibliothèques avec une section "Langues Étrangères" à New York? Tim - 11/01/2010 02:11:33 PM 704 Views
I'm too lazy to respond in French. Tom - 11/01/2010 02:37:41 PM 770 Views
Looks like you win. Can't find it on fnac.com either. Tim - 11/01/2010 02:55:10 PM 817 Views
I just can't justify buying a book I would want to keep in paperback. Tom - 11/01/2010 03:53:06 PM 756 Views
I would have thought "it's not available in hardback" was a good justification... *NM* Tim - 11/01/2010 03:55:56 PM 336 Views
Not for a book that I am sure is in hardcover somewhere... Tom - 11/01/2010 03:59:08 PM 726 Views
Are you sure it's in hardcover somewhere? *NM* Tim - 11/01/2010 04:00:54 PM 350 Views
It's a classic. How could it not be? Tom - 11/01/2010 04:03:07 PM 682 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 761 Views
Because it's a classic. Tom - 11/01/2010 05:06:51 PM 678 Views
I see. Legolas - 11/01/2010 05:46:06 PM 825 Views

That's so sad! Tom - 12/01/2010 11:27:37 PM 652 Views
They do, but the price seems to be even steeper than that. Legolas - 12/01/2010 11:37:45 PM 824 Views

Can you let me know what you think of 1776? Tim - 11/01/2010 09:13:58 AM 864 Views
Re: Can you let me know what you think of 1776? snoopcester - 11/01/2010 11:29:22 AM 688 Views
I had skimmed a part of it previously Tom - 11/01/2010 01:45:20 PM 691 Views
Oh, and regarding another of your points Tom - 11/01/2010 02:49:26 PM 872 Views
That's some pretty assonance . Tim - 11/01/2010 02:56:20 PM 832 Views
It's pretty straightforward Tom - 11/01/2010 03:57:41 PM 680 Views
Re: Well, if Tim can post his planned reads for 2010, so can I. snoopcester - 11/01/2010 11:32:53 AM 778 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 725 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 352 Views
Try "Did you know sheep have no gag reflex?" next time. Tom - 11/01/2010 04:01:54 PM 695 Views
