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, then I'd have to buy it in French, and that gets me back to my old problem: - 11/01/2010 01:42:35 PM 747 Views

I just can't justify buying a book I would want to keep in paperback. - 11/01/2010 03:53:06 PM 857 Views
I would have thought "it's not available in hardback" was a good justification... *NM* - 11/01/2010 03:55:56 PM 374 Views
