Hey Reineke, I am reading Jean Giorno's Le Hussard sur le Toit, and hope to knock it over today.
Seeing as though I've rolled over a page, expect an edit of this later.
I just finished the book, happy with myself in that I knocked it over so quickly. It was a decent read, the ending left me wanting more. Seemed a bit rushed, and it seems as though it should lead to a sequel.
Je viens de le finir. Au fin du compte c'était pas mal, mais le fin m'a laissé voulant plus que l'auteur nous adonné. Dans les cents dernières pages il y avait un monologue fait par un montagnard philosophe/docteur qu'a duré une bonne vingtaine des pages et puis un peu plus de voyage, une bataille contre la choléra et il ne restait que les 2.5 dernières pages pour une conclusion que j'ai jugé écrit un peu trop vite. De plus, Angelo le personnage principal n'a même pas couché avec la femme principale. J'étais déçu pour lui.
Je pense qu'il vaut une séquelle, car l'histoire achève avant que Angelo n'arrive en Italie... et c'était pour ça que j'attendais. Depuis le début du livre il s'agissait de son arrivée en Italie pour lutter pour le liberté des Italiens, je suis donc un peu déçu de ne lire ce que je pense pourrait être une histoire plus intéressante que celle que je viens à lire.
Thom.

Readers Mine,
Today I listed through to Pimsleur Spanish 1.30 (lessons 26-30) which now means that I've finally finished it. I don't know when I will get around to the second one.
Also spent some time reading about, and practicing my French accent. Will try to sound a bit more Parisian from now on.
Thom.

My faithful readers, and those not so faithful.
I have listened to 3 Pimsleur German I lessons today N°s 12,13,26. Shuffle made things interesting. Yesterday was not particularly productive due to the death of my fridge, and other things. Anywho, will try to do a bit more this afternoon.
Thom.

Doesn't count if you don't become one of my followers, I need more minions than just leopejo. Not that he's not a good minion, sometimes you just need numbers.
*edit* Too lazy to write another post in this thread today: and since it isn't really TAC related, I wrote about google scholar as a resource on my shiny new blog.
Thom.

Readers mine,
Since my last post I have done many wonderful things. Very little of which were related to the study of my languages. I went to the lido over the weekend, was ok, and French. Read a couple of articles and that's about it.
Today I turned 23, so I am not really expecting to get anything done today either but I have the desire to pound out a few assimil lessons, maybe tomorrow.
Thom.
