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 917 Views
I doubt it quite the same ways that book seems to have for you Larry - 11/01/2010 03:43:37 AM 842 Views
"Invitation to a Beheading" is the translated title *NM* Tom - 11/01/2010 03:55:06 AM 304 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 781 Views
I liked 1776. Darth_Katie - 11/01/2010 04:00:03 AM 845 Views
John Adams sounded good, but I've vowed to limit book-buying. Tom - 11/01/2010 01:41:50 PM 811 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 383 Views
Cool, I'll put it on the list. *NM* Darth_Katie - 11/01/2010 05:23:21 PM 383 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 682 Views
Y'a pas de bonnes bibliothèques avec une section "Langues Étrangères" à New York? Tim - 11/01/2010 02:11:33 PM 742 Views
I'm too lazy to respond in French. Tom - 11/01/2010 02:37:41 PM 794 Views
Looks like you win. Can't find it on fnac.com either. Tim - 11/01/2010 02:55:10 PM 840 Views
I just can't justify buying a book I would want to keep in paperback. Tom - 11/01/2010 03:53:06 PM 781 Views
I would have thought "it's not available in hardback" was a good justification... *NM* Tim - 11/01/2010 03:55:56 PM 346 Views
Not for a book that I am sure is in hardcover somewhere... Tom - 11/01/2010 03:59:08 PM 751 Views
Are you sure it's in hardcover somewhere? *NM* Tim - 11/01/2010 04:00:54 PM 360 Views
It's a classic. How could it not be? Tom - 11/01/2010 04:03:07 PM 708 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 787 Views
Because it's a classic. Tom - 11/01/2010 05:06:51 PM 707 Views
I see. Legolas - 11/01/2010 05:46:06 PM 851 Views
Book culture is different in France. DomA - 12/01/2010 07:06:17 PM 873 Views
That's so sad! Tom - 12/01/2010 11:27:37 PM 678 Views
They do, but the price seems to be even steeper than that. Legolas - 12/01/2010 11:37:45 PM 854 Views

Can you let me know what you think of 1776? Tim - 11/01/2010 09:13:58 AM 894 Views
Re: Can you let me know what you think of 1776? snoopcester - 11/01/2010 11:29:22 AM 712 Views
I had skimmed a part of it previously Tom - 11/01/2010 01:45:20 PM 721 Views
Oh, and regarding another of your points Tom - 11/01/2010 02:49:26 PM 894 Views
That's some pretty assonance . Tim - 11/01/2010 02:56:20 PM 861 Views
It's pretty straightforward Tom - 11/01/2010 03:57:41 PM 704 Views
Re: Well, if Tim can post his planned reads for 2010, so can I. snoopcester - 11/01/2010 11:32:53 AM 802 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 750 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 361 Views
Try "Did you know sheep have no gag reflex?" next time. Tom - 11/01/2010 04:01:54 PM 723 Views

There is a more important question to ask Amys - 14/01/2010 08:04:51 AM 987 Views
