In one of my life I studied political sciences at Sciences Po Paris. I dicovered here François-poncet.It is one of my most deep memories. I read telegrams sent to the Quai d'Orsay (french ministery international relation). This lover of Germany saw everything all inclusive. The rise of the Nazism, the fascination for the mediocre Hitler, the violence, the anti-Semitism. He alerted on the danger without any results.

Easier to read than Mahabarratha. Necessity to immerge completely in it for not loosing the story.

I think it is a great novel.

Difficult reading because I am complain to read all the notes for all understand (The introduction 5à pages is very interesting). After an hundred a pages, I think it will be easier.

"Times of our singings" was a masterpiece. After it is not the same level. I find this one very goof-d, like "Time". Perhaps because the music. It is not here baroc music here but contemporary. Great difference with Esnard and "Boussoles". It is erudit but never pedant. And he talks about Messiaen.

New Vargas. It is like a new Nesbo or Ellory. But also different. Her political opinion, especially about the Batisti case had make trouble on her. A kind of prevention. Read it, it's the only way to have a true opinion.

I tried to read it many years ago. I was perplexe. A kind of pastiche, a "Tom Jones" like? I didn't finish the first book. I find it today in my library. So many books to read, but perhaps, I let it a second chance.

Doubtless one of the major books of this year. Definitely, this beginning of year is much more fascinating than the rentrée littéraiire . Little which I read is impressive.

I keep on explorate american literature. I want to read especially young writer for feeling the trend in this rich literature.

An hallucinate and erudite long chapter on Leon Bloy. I unconsciencly compare Muray to him. I am true. Like him, Muray didn't write a Novel, the great novel he was able to do, only a spectator, but what a spectator.

I want to read great space, freedom, man face to his destiny, so I want to read american litterature. I search author Unknown for me. I bought this book this afternoon. I find it interesting

I think I've read to Young Modiano. Recently I read the Stockolm speach for the Nobel Prize. Magnific. I made a mistake. I decide to all read of him.

It will be the scandal of the beginning of 2015. I do not appreciate Houelbeck. He has style, it's well written but it's to journalistic. The topics are always with the mode and miss depth. What is interesting, it's that Virginie Despentes publish her new book at the same time. They began together at the same time 1995. I have the impression that these 2 books are the reflection the same reality, a country in crisis
