I really don't want to waste any more time reading pointless ones. It was good of you to come back and share your thoughts.

I'm not sure when I'll get to it, though, my piles of unread books are towering and that one's not exactly screaming my name.Jeanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02270303640902731044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5531596607902037529.post-9062369806572451612010-05-29T11:00:12.644-03:002010-05-29T11:00:12.644-03:00I remember reading this (in French)for my french A...I remember reading this (in French)for my french A-level about 40 years ago!

The Stranger was such a peculiar book and yet it was somehow appealing.
