one of these days ill be done with this book. but today is not that day.

depuis des lustres=for ages, a very long time
this caught my eye because un lustre=chandelier (also appears in russian люстра), so what does a chandelier have to do with time?
apparently it comes from latin lustrum which meant a period of 5 years marked by a purification ritual lustratio.

i picked this book from the lib thinking crime novels should be easy enough to read but was i wrong in this case. still its getting a bit better the more i read. the story is ok.
