Ah, I was wondering if it might be that one (obviously, I know very little Russian) Larry Send a noteboard - 11/01/2010 04:04:14 AM
Read that one in translation last year. Enjoyed it, but it wasn't as strong as those originally written in English, I found.

Well, if Tim can post his planned reads for 2010, so can I. Tom - 11/01/2010 02:34:47 AM 772 Views
I doubt it quite the same ways that book seems to have for you Larry - 11/01/2010 03:43:37 AM 689 Views
"Invitation to a Beheading" is the translated title *NM* Tom - 11/01/2010 03:55:06 AM 247 Views

I liked 1776. Darth_Katie - 11/01/2010 04:00:03 AM 701 Views
John Adams sounded good, but I've vowed to limit book-buying. Tom - 11/01/2010 01:41:50 PM 651 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 327 Views
Cool, I'll put it on the list. *NM* Darth_Katie - 11/01/2010 05:23:21 PM 327 Views
The Plague might disappoint you. jh - 11/01/2010 06:31:54 AM 601 Views
I was suspecting that: I studied some other Camus in school, but not that one. Tim - 11/01/2010 09:02:04 AM 630 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 543 Views
Y'a pas de bonnes bibliothèques avec une section "Langues Étrangères" à New York? Tim - 11/01/2010 02:11:33 PM 594 Views
I'm too lazy to respond in French. Tom - 11/01/2010 02:37:41 PM 635 Views
Looks like you win. Can't find it on fnac.com either. Tim - 11/01/2010 02:55:10 PM 691 Views
I just can't justify buying a book I would want to keep in paperback. Tom - 11/01/2010 03:53:06 PM 628 Views
I would have thought "it's not available in hardback" was a good justification... *NM* Tim - 11/01/2010 03:55:56 PM 291 Views
Not for a book that I am sure is in hardcover somewhere... Tom - 11/01/2010 03:59:08 PM 591 Views
Are you sure it's in hardcover somewhere? *NM* Tim - 11/01/2010 04:00:54 PM 294 Views
It's a classic. How could it not be? Tom - 11/01/2010 04:03:07 PM 558 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 642 Views
Because it's a classic. Tom - 11/01/2010 05:06:51 PM 563 Views
I see. Legolas - 11/01/2010 05:46:06 PM 704 Views
Book culture is different in France. DomA - 12/01/2010 07:06:17 PM 715 Views
That's so sad! Tom - 12/01/2010 11:27:37 PM 533 Views
They do, but the price seems to be even steeper than that. Legolas - 12/01/2010 11:37:45 PM 700 Views

Can you let me know what you think of 1776? Tim - 11/01/2010 09:13:58 AM 776 Views
Re: Can you let me know what you think of 1776? snoopcester - 11/01/2010 11:29:22 AM 568 Views
I had skimmed a part of it previously Tom - 11/01/2010 01:45:20 PM 583 Views
Oh, and regarding another of your points Tom - 11/01/2010 02:49:26 PM 738 Views
That's some pretty assonance . Tim - 11/01/2010 02:56:20 PM 712 Views
It's pretty straightforward Tom - 11/01/2010 03:57:41 PM 557 Views
Re: Well, if Tim can post his planned reads for 2010, so can I. snoopcester - 11/01/2010 11:32:53 AM 651 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 600 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 311 Views
Try "Did you know sheep have no gag reflex?" next time. Tom - 11/01/2010 04:01:54 PM 574 Views
On the Road is a classic. everynametaken - 12/01/2010 04:08:11 AM 522 Views
I've read 2, 3 and 12. Vodalus - 13/01/2010 07:38:33 PM 712 Views
There is a more important question to ask Amys - 14/01/2010 08:04:51 AM 763 Views
She reads the same books over and over and over. Tom - 14/01/2010 05:08:20 PM 552 Views
