Jan-Maat's status update
Jan-Maat
is on page 368 of 432 of Bel-Ami: Le nouvel évêque de Tanger, .... Posa les questions d'usage, échangea les anneaux, pronoça les paroles qui lient comme des chaînes, et il adressa aux nouveaux époux une allocution chrétienne. Il parla de fidélité, longuement, en termes pompeux. C'était un gros homme de grande taille, un de ces beaux prélats chez qui le ventre est une majesté.

Hi P.E.! I haven't played the Pirc or studied it, so I can't be much help there. I've "looked" at it. It seems playable, and I may try it some time. Lately, I've had some success with a Franco-Sicilian as an alternative to the Caro-Kann. Like with th

“The great city seemed to weigh upon me, as though it were crushing me under its heap of brick and stone. Gray, drizzly skies, congested streets, the soot-belching boats and barges chugging up and down the Thames, the teeming mass of four millions hastening about the countless activities of daily life in a metropolis, things adventurous, meaningful, spiritual, quotidian, futile, criminal, meaningless and absurd. Amidst this seething stew of humanity, I painted.”

Hi Gary! I see your novel is nearly at the top of my stack. Since I usually include a pic or two in my review that captures the spirit of the novel, as a Goodreads friend I will extend the courtesy of asking if you have a favorite photo and/or work of art you would like me to include. I also include an author photo. Likewise, if you have one you would like me to include, please send it along. If so in either or both cases, perhaps the best way is to send me a personal message with a link to the pages. If you would prefer not to, that's cool, just let me know and I'll do the choosing.
Cheers,
Glenn

I've been enjoying your insightful reviews for some time now, and I certainly look forward with interest to your review of The Devil. I've completed the Inspector Lefebvre trilogy and, as I've already stated in a blog post and a self-review of the last of three novels, it's been hard saying good-bye to Achille and his world. However, I'm still writing and, as you said, that's another reason to try and stay healthy! :)
Best,
Gary
Hey Gary. Thanks for being such a good Goodreads friend! I do appreciate your stopping by to read and comment on my reviews now and then. Anyway, my local library system has your The Devil in Montmartre. It is on my tbr stack, a very, very large stack. I look forward to reading and reviewing. I'm a complete eccentric and hold to a tight monthly schedule. The Devil will be read and reviewed in the month of July. Gives me yet again another reason to maintain my good health! :)

You're welcome, Marita. Your review was especially interesting to me because my novel, "The Devil in Montmartre", is set in Paris during the 1889 Universal Exposition.
I look forward to reading more of your reviews!
Thank you, Gary! I enjoy reading your posts as well!
Hi Gary. Thanks for the friendvite.
