Good readings, bad readings...


Well, Joel insisted on books!?books!?books!?… I read it all very carefully, and just couldn't resist giving my own answers to this questionnaire – non, cette fois‑ci n'est pas le proustien – that seems to be flying around the world at light speed. After translating the questions, here is the outcome:

1. One book I have read more than once – Um livro que li mais do que uma vez:
«Os Lusíadas», Luís de Camões

2. One book I would want on a desert island – Um livro que levaria para uma ilha deserta:
«À la Recherche du Temps Perdu», Marcel Proust

3. One book that made me laugh – Um livro que me fez rir:
«Dona Flor e Seus Dois Maridos», Jorge Amado

4. One book that made me cry – Um livro que me fez chorar:
«Vagabundos de Nós», Daniel Sampaio

5. One book I wish I had written – Um livro que gostaria de ter escrito:
«O Ano da Morte de Ricardo Reis», José Saramago

6. One book I wish had never been written – Um livro que gostaria que nunca tivesse sido escrito:
«Mein Kampf», Adolf Hitler

7. One book I am currently reading – Um livro que estou presentemente a ler:
«A Máquina do Arcanjo», Frederico Lourenço (photo)
[I'll soon be posting about him and his work!...]

8. One book I have been meaning to read – Um livro que há muito quero ler:
«Le Mausolée des Amants», Hervé Guibert

9. One book that changed my life – Um livro que mudou a minha vida:

Cool Ric!?

If I had known I would have put your name down in my list!?

lol

You know that most of these, I don't know/understand!?

I'm French Canadian!?

Mind sharing a bit of your life?!
E-me!? I'd like that!? French or English!?

What do you mean,
"I sense there's something strange, odd in the air."

PS please give me an e-mail to right to you!?

So which one is your first language? French or English? I'd say English, but I may be wrong anyway...
As for my email, check in your archive, you'll find it there, I'm sure.
As for the books, I guess you're kidding: most of them are either in French or in English...
As for myself, feel completely free to ask whatever you wish/want to know about me. This may sound strange, but I don't speak that easily about myself. I guess I wouldn't be able of having a blog as a diary. It's not a matter of privacy, it's more a matter of personality, I'd say. So shoot!
Be happy and «work» for it!
