I..."I read for my pleasure, not to please others."<br /><br />I think that's great, SP.<br /><br />I wish to heck I could read French because something is always lost in translation. I would have loved to read <I>Madame Bovary</I> in the original.<br /><br />As far as Sedaris goes, I really liked his book <I>Me Talk Pretty One Day</I>. Goofy title, good book.Charliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00722567671925063706noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25689012.post-76679303556416343832009-05-28T13:21:59.046-04:002009-05-28T13:21:59.046-04:00Did you honestly read VC Andrews in school?

It touches me to read something so far fetch and yet so well thought of. I'll have to check Sedaris out, I like dry humour, as you know ;-)<br /><br /><B>Monkey</B>: Since I've been able to read English, I make it a duty to read a book in the language it was written in. Lately, I've been reading I'd say half and half. In school I had both, in French classes we read French writers, but not only French from Europe, some French-Canadians as well. The two are very different. Like American English and Brit English. In my English classes we would read classics like Steinbeck, Salinger, Twain, V.C. Andrews, London, Jane Austen, E.Allan Poe, Shakespeare, etc. After that I picked and chose what I wanted to read often by referal of friends, more than anything, and as much as I hate to admit it, at times Oprah influenced my picks as well ;-)stinkypawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04418558395508830375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25689012.post-4564601322436438452009-05-28T11:37:04.781-04:002009-05-28T11:37:04.781-04:00When you read is it mostly French books?

Did you read mostly Canadian authors? <br />Sorry for being nosy- I am just curious about how Lit is studied in other countries.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25689012.post-47378158111560628772009-05-28T10:49:22.907-04:002009-05-28T10:49:22.907-04:00I haven't read any of the Harry Potter or Twilight...I haven't read any of the Harry Potter or Twilight books. I'll probably try Harry Potter one of these days, but I think I'll pass on the sparkling vampire. <br /><br />I think you would like David Sedaris. He writes mostly essays, and he's dryly funny.flurrioushttp://flurrious.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
