ExtraLean Diglot Senior Member France jitsumachine.deviant Joined 27/6/2008 (221 days ago) Only as evil as you'll be in 445 days, and I'll have left it behind me long before; by tomorrow, by your logic, at which point you'll be 1/3rd evil and increasing. C'mon Extralean, drop the silly numerology. :-) 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

On a book related matter, because I am not someone to spam meanignlessly. I am now looking for another one. I know there are some French Book Worms out there, hopefully some male ones, and there is no better place than here to put your favourite books out there, except for maybe my TACLog.
Vai: Proof? I find your statement doubtful, a millenium is a rather long period of time.
You insult numerologists everywhere. :p Thom. Edited by ExtraLean on 03 February 2009 at 7:57am 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

I would *definitely* jump in an read Assia Djebar! I am studying French francophone litterature and postcolonialism this semester, but she's not among the authors we are reading in class.
Extralean, you have to stop discriminating against books about women.:P Women read books about men, right? Like... all the time? As long as I have the time to spare and can get my hands on the book, I would participate. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

Discriminate is a bit of a harsh word dear Tricours. It is just that I prefer to identify with the characters. The life of a woman in Algeria, no doubt interesting, moving, and a marvel of french literature, doesn't sing out to me as having too much that would interests me, or that I could relate to. I followed your recommendation with the female author of Attentat, whatsherface, and was happy enough. You should be too. :p Thom. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

Hey, I always identify more with Heathcliff and Mr Rochester in the Brontë works, than with any of the women :P Assia Djebar has a quite fancy record by the way (http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assia_Djebar). I would say it is one of those good names to have read. Plus the side _francophone_ but not _french_ could be interesting. Or rather, it *is* interesting. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

That's because those women were 'ladies'...:p
Alright, well if you insist Tricours, I will give it a go when I get paid or can find a way around the price. I really should go to the library more. Thom 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

I would definitely take part, count me in :)
I think 2 books a month is the best way to go. I hope we can start the fun soon ;) At the moment I'm reading "Vanity Fair". 1 person has voted this message useful |
