I was suspecting that: I studied some other Camus in school, but not that one. Tim Send a noteboard - 11/01/2010 09:02:04 AM
Tom: why not read it in French? If you don't like it, then at least you've taxed your brain just that little bit more, which should make it more enjoyable. And if you do like it, then you'll have read it in the original, which is always better.

Well, if Tim can post his planned reads for 2010, so can I. Tom - 11/01/2010 02:34:47 AM 770 Views
I doubt it quite the same ways that book seems to have for you Larry - 11/01/2010 03:43:37 AM 688 Views
"Invitation to a Beheading" is the translated title *NM* Tom - 11/01/2010 03:55:06 AM 247 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 628 Views
I liked 1776. Darth_Katie - 11/01/2010 04:00:03 AM 699 Views
John Adams sounded good, but I've vowed to limit book-buying. Tom - 11/01/2010 01:41:50 PM 650 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 326 Views
Cool, I'll put it on the list. *NM* Darth_Katie - 11/01/2010 05:23:21 PM 326 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 541 Views
Y'a pas de bonnes bibliothèques avec une section "Langues Étrangères" à New York? Tim - 11/01/2010 02:11:33 PM 592 Views
I'm too lazy to respond in French. Tom - 11/01/2010 02:37:41 PM 633 Views
Looks like you win. Can't find it on fnac.com either. Tim - 11/01/2010 02:55:10 PM 689 Views
I just can't justify buying a book I would want to keep in paperback. Tom - 11/01/2010 03:53:06 PM 627 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 590 Views
Are you sure it's in hardcover somewhere? *NM* Tim - 11/01/2010 04:00:54 PM 293 Views
It's a classic. How could it not be? Tom - 11/01/2010 04:03:07 PM 557 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 641 Views
Because it's a classic. Tom - 11/01/2010 05:06:51 PM 562 Views
I see. Legolas - 11/01/2010 05:46:06 PM 703 Views

That's so sad! Tom - 12/01/2010 11:27:37 PM 530 Views
They do, but the price seems to be even steeper than that. Legolas - 12/01/2010 11:37:45 PM 698 Views

Can you let me know what you think of 1776? Tim - 11/01/2010 09:13:58 AM 775 Views
Re: Can you let me know what you think of 1776? snoopcester - 11/01/2010 11:29:22 AM 566 Views
I had skimmed a part of it previously Tom - 11/01/2010 01:45:20 PM 581 Views
Oh, and regarding another of your points Tom - 11/01/2010 02:49:26 PM 737 Views
That's some pretty assonance . Tim - 11/01/2010 02:56:20 PM 711 Views
It's pretty straightforward Tom - 11/01/2010 03:57:41 PM 555 Views
Re: Well, if Tim can post his planned reads for 2010, so can I. snoopcester - 11/01/2010 11:32:53 AM 650 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 599 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 572 Views
