This whole conversation is just a pile of tangents, anyway. *NM* Legolas Send a noteboard - 18/12/2010 01:30:09 PM

Maurice Druon - The Accursed Kings Legolas - 13/12/2010 08:19:21 PM 7815 Views
Thank you for giving this review - I had forgotten the name of the author and series. Tom - 13/12/2010 09:29:59 PM 1640 Views
You're welcome (and thanks for the correction, edited). Legolas - 13/12/2010 10:23:55 PM 1667 Views
I know it's not "literary". (EDITED) Tom - 13/12/2010 10:42:33 PM 1564 Views
Subjunctive imperfect, yeah. Legolas - 13/12/2010 10:51:34 PM 1633 Views
And with regard to your edit, I don't have a problem with passé simples myself. Legolas - 13/12/2010 10:53:59 PM 1988 Views
But how can one read any French literature at all without encountering the passé simple? Tom - 15/12/2010 03:39:37 AM 1795 Views
The point is it is a "literary" tense Camilla - 15/12/2010 10:19:59 AM 1777 Views
Why would I read a lower style of book (I won't use the term "literature" to describe them) ? Tom - 16/12/2010 06:11:36 AM 1582 Views
I don't want to start a fight here, but your attitude is seriously starting to grate. Legolas - 16/12/2010 06:54:30 PM 1846 Views
I don't care. Start a fight. Tom - 16/12/2010 08:24:22 PM 1746 Views
Well, or we can have a civil debate on French culture, I suppose... also fun. Legolas - 16/12/2010 09:09:20 PM 1732 Views
Well, I'm up for that, too. Tom - 17/12/2010 05:48:39 AM 1721 Views
Good. Legolas - 17/12/2010 09:01:37 PM 2071 Views
Ah - I support the subjunctive!!! Tom - 18/12/2010 05:10:38 AM 1935 Views
TANGENT Rebekah - 18/12/2010 09:56:31 AM 1823 Views

I enjoy the tangent. Tom - 21/12/2010 12:43:23 AM 1491 Views
But you don't think its disappearance corresponds to a decline in American culture? Legolas - 18/12/2010 01:29:43 PM 1712 Views
I read Der Zauberberg in English already. Tom - 21/12/2010 12:48:16 AM 1554 Views
About the passé simple, what Camilla said. As for medieval vocabulary... Legolas - 15/12/2010 07:17:44 PM 1736 Views
"Ne...point" is used in Stendhal all the time. Tom - 16/12/2010 06:08:40 AM 1625 Views
That looks like a really fascinating series. Rebekah - 13/12/2010 10:56:52 PM 1686 Views
Step up your French lessons!!! Tom - 13/12/2010 11:50:21 PM 1864 Views
That is a great reason to learn French. Legolas - 14/12/2010 07:29:54 PM 1591 Views

Fancier English often turns out to be French, of course. *NM* Tom - 17/12/2010 06:41:19 PM 905 Views
Ooooh Camilla - 14/12/2010 07:41:03 PM 1522 Views
I'm really not quite sure how you managed that. Legolas - 14/12/2010 08:09:55 PM 1684 Views
Re: I'm really not quite sure how you managed that. Camilla - 14/12/2010 08:13:48 PM 1582 Views
I meant Bertière, yeah. Dumas works too, though. Legolas - 14/12/2010 08:18:30 PM 1652 Views
