I have just read. Je viens juste de lire.). Tuesday, 29 March 2011. La carte et le territioire - Michel Houellebecq. J'ai fini ce livre il y a déjà plus de 2 semaines, et je n'ai pas pris le temps d'en parler ici. Mais - oh que j'ai aimé! Et surtout, cette fois-ci, je n'ai pas été déçue. Tellement de Houellebecq se finissent en queue de poisson, me laissent sur ma faim - prenons "la possibilité d'une ile": le meilleur début au monde, je me souviens m'être totalement exaltée en lisant la première moitié.

I have just read...: le fauteuil hanté - Gaston Leroux

I have just read. Je viens juste de lire.). Friday, 15 April 2011. Le fauteuil hanté - Gaston Leroux. J'avais dit qu'on me m'y reprendrait plus, qu’un duo de Rouletabille. M’avait définitivement découragé, et que le style d’écriture de Gaston Leroux était trop daté, passé, poussiéreux et maladroit. Mais une fois de plus, je n’avais rien à écouter au labo, et beaucoup trop de plantules à aplatir et de cotylédons à découper pour y faire face sans une histoire dans les oreilles. Je suppose que le contexte h...

I have just read. Je viens juste de lire.). Wednesday, 29 December 2010. Rouletabille - Gaston Leroux. Après avoir passé des heures à chercher des livres gratuits pour mon nouveau Kindle, j'ai trouvé un paquet de classiques. En pleine rébellion anti belle-famille-à-la-maison-pour-les-fetes-marre-de-l'anglais, j'ai donc décidé de lire n'importe quoi, pourvu que ce soit dans ma langue maternelle. Bref, du français. La version que j'ai téléchargée sur le site du projet Gutenberg. Mais que c'était mal écrit!

I have just read...: Howards End - Edward Morgan Forster
http://ihavejustread.blogspot.com/2011/04/howards-end-edward-morgan-forster.html
I have just read. Je viens juste de lire.). Saturday, 23 April 2011. Howards End - Edward Morgan Forster. Although many, many themes appear in this novel, to me it was a tale of an evolving society, of the big changes that happened a century ago; the spreading of the use of motorcars, the growing of London, the beginning of a social awareness, and more importantly, the slow emancipation of women. Is it the need to “connect”, to live together, to respect the other no matter what? What is the message here?

http://ihavejustread.blogspot.com/2011/04/case-of-missing-boyfriend-nick.html
I have just read. Je viens juste de lire.). Sunday, 3 April 2011. The case of the missing boyfriend - Nick Alexander. I had a pre-conception for this book, and i really don't know why. Maybe because of the cover, which looked different from your average chic-lit cover, or maybe because it was written by a man, and had a title that could lead to a different sort of story - somehow i thought that it would be a detective fiction for girls. It was nothing new really. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). La pe...

I have just read...: William Walker's first year of marriage - Matt Rudd
http://ihavejustread.blogspot.com/2011/04/william-walkers-first-year-of-marriage.html
I have just read. Je viens juste de lire.). Thursday, 7 April 2011. William Walker's first year of marriage - Matt Rudd. This may be a horror story, but it's a very, very funny one. So funny that it got me laughing times and times again. Out loud, for real. And I am not easily amused. Imagine Bridget Jones' diary written by a newly married guy - that's exactly what it was, and it was excellent. I kept thinking while reading this " Gosh! I need to read this to the boyfriend, that's SO spot on! Watership D...

I have just read. Je viens juste de lire.). Saturday, 12 February 2011. Painless - Derek Ciccone. This book is currently ranked #1 in the free ebooks downloads on amazon.co.uk - in other words, without a kindle, i would probably never have read it. But since it was there, free to read, and with seemingly a good plot, well, i had to go for it. I have to say, the central idea was quite good and peculiar: an american secret agency raising an army of CIPA ( congenital insensitivity to pain with anhidrosis.

I have just read. Je viens juste de lire.). Thursday, 27 January 2011. Room - Emma Donoghue. How bizarre was this book - i mean, not only that it was written from the point of view of Jack, Mr Five, a wee boy that has never seen anything else, lived anywhere else but in 'room'. His all world is room, the objects in it, Ma, and old Nick (nasty Nick? Everything else is TV. And as we know, TV is not real. But that wasn't the most bizarre. The weirdest thing is to get into his. So, if Dora. It will be intere...
