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

Well, if Tim can post his planned reads for 2010, so can I. Tom - 11/01/2010 02:34:47 AM 840 Views
I doubt it quite the same ways that book seems to have for you Larry - 11/01/2010 03:43:37 AM 758 Views
"Invitation to a Beheading" is the translated title *NM* Tom - 11/01/2010 03:55:06 AM 275 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 704 Views
I liked 1776. Darth_Katie - 11/01/2010 04:00:03 AM 778 Views
John Adams sounded good, but I've vowed to limit book-buying. Tom - 11/01/2010 01:41:50 PM 731 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 351 Views
Cool, I'll put it on the list. *NM* Darth_Katie - 11/01/2010 05:23:21 PM 351 Views
The Plague might disappoint you. jh - 11/01/2010 06:31:54 AM 679 Views
I was suspecting that: I studied some other Camus in school, but not that one. Tim - 11/01/2010 09:02:04 AM 701 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 609 Views
Y'a pas de bonnes bibliothèques avec une section "Langues Étrangères" à New York? Tim - 11/01/2010 02:11:33 PM 655 Views
I'm too lazy to respond in French. Tom - 11/01/2010 02:37:41 PM 711 Views
Looks like you win. Can't find it on fnac.com either. Tim - 11/01/2010 02:55:10 PM 764 Views
I just can't justify buying a book I would want to keep in paperback. Tom - 11/01/2010 03:53:06 PM 703 Views
I would have thought "it's not available in hardback" was a good justification... *NM* Tim - 11/01/2010 03:55:56 PM 315 Views
Not for a book that I am sure is in hardcover somewhere... Tom - 11/01/2010 03:59:08 PM 677 Views
Are you sure it's in hardcover somewhere? *NM* Tim - 11/01/2010 04:00:54 PM 321 Views
It's a classic. How could it not be? Tom - 11/01/2010 04:03:07 PM 630 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 707 Views
Because it's a classic. Tom - 11/01/2010 05:06:51 PM 634 Views
I see. Legolas - 11/01/2010 05:46:06 PM 769 Views
Book culture is different in France. DomA - 12/01/2010 07:06:17 PM 781 Views
That's so sad! Tom - 12/01/2010 11:27:37 PM 606 Views
They do, but the price seems to be even steeper than that. Legolas - 12/01/2010 11:37:45 PM 775 Views

Can you let me know what you think of 1776? Tim - 11/01/2010 09:13:58 AM 812 Views
Re: Can you let me know what you think of 1776? snoopcester - 11/01/2010 11:29:22 AM 640 Views
I had skimmed a part of it previously Tom - 11/01/2010 01:45:20 PM 648 Views
Oh, and regarding another of your points Tom - 11/01/2010 02:49:26 PM 824 Views
That's some pretty assonance . Tim - 11/01/2010 02:56:20 PM 779 Views
It's pretty straightforward Tom - 11/01/2010 03:57:41 PM 632 Views
Re: Well, if Tim can post his planned reads for 2010, so can I. snoopcester - 11/01/2010 11:32:53 AM 731 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 672 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 333 Views
Try "Did you know sheep have no gag reflex?" next time. Tom - 11/01/2010 04:01:54 PM 649 Views
On the Road is a classic. everynametaken - 12/01/2010 04:08:11 AM 588 Views
I've read 2, 3 and 12. Vodalus - 13/01/2010 07:38:33 PM 783 Views
There is a more important question to ask Amys - 14/01/2010 08:04:51 AM 828 Views
She reads the same books over and over and over. Tom - 14/01/2010 05:08:20 PM 625 Views
