Re: Well, if Tim can post his planned reads for 2010, so can I. snoopcester Send a noteboard - 11/01/2010 11:32:53 AM
I'm planning on exactly 12 books that I need to read for the year since the volume of work is picking up again.

1. 1776, by David McCollough


I read it and quite enjoyed it as an American look at the war (having just read a British one at the time)

2. The Red and the Black, by Stendhal


This is on my "to read one day" list

3. On the Road by Jack Kerouac (also on Tim's list, I noted)


Ditto for this, though possibly sooner as I own a copy already.

6. The Plague by Albert Camus


And again with being on that list

7. Paradise Lost by John Milton


and, erm, on that list again:P

Henning Mankell "We must defend the open society, because if we start locking our doors, if we let fear decide, the person who committed the act of terror will win"

Well, if Tim can post his planned reads for 2010, so can I. Tom - 11/01/2010 02:34:47 AM 885 Views
I doubt it quite the same ways that book seems to have for you Larry - 11/01/2010 03:43:37 AM 811 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 370 Views
The Plague might disappoint you. jh - 11/01/2010 06:31:54 AM 731 Views
I was suspecting that: I studied some other Camus in school, but not that one. Tim - 11/01/2010 09:02:04 AM 754 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 706 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 683 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 762 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
Book culture is different in France. DomA - 12/01/2010 07:06:17 PM 841 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 825 Views

Can you let me know what you think of 1776? Tim - 11/01/2010 09:13:58 AM 865 Views
Re: Can you let me know what you think of 1776? snoopcester - 11/01/2010 11:29:22 AM 689 Views
I had skimmed a part of it previously Tom - 11/01/2010 01:45:20 PM 692 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 779 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
On the Road is a classic. everynametaken - 12/01/2010 04:08:11 AM 635 Views
I've read 2, 3 and 12. Vodalus - 13/01/2010 07:38:33 PM 838 Views
There is a more important question to ask Amys - 14/01/2010 08:04:51 AM 950 Views
She reads the same books over and over and over. Tom - 14/01/2010 05:08:20 PM 674 Views
