Hi, Welcome to goodreads! Beware, this site is addictive. How many have you read in 2009?
Beware is right. I spend tons of time on here, when the kids are being loud enough where I can't read. But you will find great recommendations on here.
Actually, I've never keep the count of the number of books I read, so this will be a good occasion to do so. I would say that I read an average of one book per week, so 144 will be quite a challenge for me!
Janvier:
1- Ange Pitou, Alexandre Dumas2- Le grand guide de la Toscane, collectif
3- Rome : Le Guide Vert
4- Florence et la Toscane
5- Nine Dragons, Michael Connelly
6- Le Guide du routard 2009 - Florence
7- Toscane
8- Anna Karenine
Welcome to Goodreads! What kind of books do you like to read? :)
Hi Melissa,Mostly, I like to read classics and mysteries. I read in French (I'm from Quebec) and English, and my favorite book of all times is À la recherche du temps perdu, from Marcel Proust.
And you?
I have wanted to read Proust for a long time. But my OCD won't let me quit a book before finishing or start another one while I am still reading some other book so I am a little afraid. It is 7 volumes after all! Have you read all of them?
Yes, I read them all - twice actually! And I've started a 3rd round last summer... Actually, I did my master degree on this chef-d'oeuvre, some ten years ago! A little crazy, I know, but it is soooo beautifully written... I hope you'll read it one day!
