For fun : Parallel Text short stories in french- they have the english translation!!!!

its great found it while trying to find this book:

 

Analytical Computer Cartography- what a bore :snore:

" The Go-Between": can be a bit boring sometimes but on the whole I like it

^ what's the Go- Between about?

fiction of non-fiction?

it is fiction. The author is LP Hartley. It's the story of twelve-year old boy Leo in 1900. In the summer he is invited to one of his school friend's aristocratic mansion in Norfolk and he falls in love with his friend's sister Marian who is much older. But he is soon used as a messenger by the same Marian who has a secret love affair with the gardener. So i'm not gonna tell you how it ends but what I can say is that his initiation into love and the world of adults is traumatizing for him... Actually "The Go-Between" has been adapted to the cinema by Joseph Losey in the 70s and it's a very beautiful film

:)

ohh the book sounds juicy :wink3:

 

thanks for that so many things to watch and read!

 

i read a book once called The Chateau it was set in a French village where this rich family lived. The husband was crippled and the wife was devoted to him, they had an older son but where keeping care of a nephew, a little boy who would inherit the chateau. They hire an English governess who is not supposed to speak french so they can continue with their plans to kill the little boy. But what do you know! the governess speaks French and she falls in love with their son...

Waow! I like the story! I've never heard of that book though

i don't know the author and i don't have it anymore but i wish i did that book was a fun read.

If I had to recommend a good read, I would choose "The Rotters Club" by Jonathan Coe, "The Catcher in the Rye" by J.D Salinger and of course the Harry Potter series!

definetly The Catcher in The Rye

yah Harry Potter but i havent read the sixth book yet :cry:

 

i would recommend To Kill a Mockingbird, and Anne of Green Gables

 

The Master and Margarita its Russian, the devil comes to pay a visit to the city of Moscow- lots of fun i think you might like this Bibe

it's really good...actually any book by Chuck Palahniuk imo is a good book...he wrote Fight Club just for anyone who didn't know and wanted too...

 

His writing style is very unique...the way he tells a story, it's more like a normal person's thought process...it jumps forward, and backward, from present to wherever all over the book...my favourite thing he says to explain how he writes is,

 

"No matter how careful you are, there's going to be the sense you missed something, the collapsed feeling under your skin that you didn't experience it all. There's that fallen heart feeling that you rushed right through the moments where you should've been paying attention. Well, get used to that feeling. That's how your whole life will feel some day."

 

Anyways...you should all pick him up sometime...

That's so true!

yep...hope that inspires you maybe to pick up his stuff....he says some things that are so honest...it's quite unbelievable.

I'm reading The Historian by Elizabeth Kostova right now. The best comparision I can give is to The Da Vinci Code, though the two really aren't that similar. It's about a girl who finds some letters in her father's library that talk about Dracula. She asks him about it, and he starts to tell her the story about how he went on a search for Dracula 25 years before. I'm on page 300 and I'm really loving it so far.

^ i saw adverts for that book all over the undergrounds, I want to read that! Let me know how it pans out...

Just finished Vanishing Acts by Jodi Picoult and am about to start Millennium People by J G Ballard
