Les Mille et une Nuits (Tome I) and The Mammoth Book of Extreme Science Fiction. Tim Send a noteboard - 04/07/2012 08:47:21 PM
The first because I haven't read any French in ages. It's an early C18 translation, but surprisingly readable given that. I only have Vol 1 which is nights 1-100 and 103. The second is a re-read, but I'm skipping the ones I didn't like first time round. Saving the best – The Days of Solomon Gursky by Ian McDonald – for last.
Vigilantibus non dormientibus jura subveniunt.

—Nous disons en allemand : le guerre, le mort, le lune, alors que 'soleil' et 'amour' sont du sexe féminin : la soleil, la amour. La vie est neutre.

—La vie ? Neutre ? C'est très joli, et surtout très logique.
