I have no idea when I found the time to read this, because this past month, I had: tons of work to do for school, two trips to London to organize, two seasons of Stargate SG-1 to watch, two training baccalauréat exams to grade, a handful of RPG sessions to play (and two to Storytell), three pictures to draw, and I can't remember what else, but I'm ( Read more... )

I haven't been drawing nor really writing much this past month. This because I wanted to read instead. It's also so much more productive to spend my evenings reading than to loaf around on the internet not doing anything at all in the end, save for refreshing the same old sites all the time. ;) So there. Thank you, my nice new kitchen table, for ( Read more... )

I said I'd start this challenge again, but didn't want to wait for 2011 to roll in. So here's my entry for December 2010, month number 1 of this second edition of my 50 books challenge.

• Matthew Kneale - Petits crimes dans un âge d'abondance: Reçu à la TGIO à Paris cette année. Une série de nouvelles plutôt sympas. Comme quoi l'enfer est pavé de ( Read more... )

I finished the challenge in November, with 51 books read this year. Well... technically, I even finished in October, come to think of it, since I had already reached the right count by then. But nevermind that. I'm sorely tempted to do it again, and come to think of it, I don't see why I should wait for January to happen. By the by, don't you feel ( Read more... )

With NaNoWriMo and me getting up all caught into it, I totally forgot to post the list of books I read in October. Here's the list for both months, then. (Of course, I didn't read much in November; on the other hand, I also don't list mangas and magazines that I read - and since I read all the 130+ chapters of Bakuman on the web...)

October:* ( Read more... )

Decision taken at 4:30 pm: "I'm not going to work anymore today ( Read more... )

En direct du McDonald's de Sens-Plage, pour ne pas changer ces derniers jours, voici ma petite mise à jour concernant ce challenge:

China Mieville - Perdido Street Station: Ambiance, style et histoire assez particuliers. On aime ou on n'aime pas, je dirais. En tous cas, on m'en avait dit du bien, et  j'ai trouvé cette lecture des plus prenantes ( ( Read more... )

Back in Strasbourg I am, and before I forget, here's my post for the books challenge in July.

So, in the past four weeks, I read...

Susanna Clarke - Jonathan Strange and Mister Norrell: And this is the very reason why I read so little in July (apart from the many pen&paper RPGs I took part in). XD

Collectif - Histoires d'amour et de mort de la Chine ( Read more... )

This month was definitely placed under the sign of reading, between having less papers to grade, less classes to prepare, and no more classes at the IUFM. So I read. And drew a little, and took part in tabletop RPGs. But mostly read.

• Samuel Richardson - Pamela: Totally spoiled for me about 1.5 years ago, due to stupidly reading the introduction to ( Read more... )

May is drawing to an end, and there's no doubt I won't read another, complete book tonight, so here's my list for this past month.

If I keep a 1 book/week rhythm throughout the year, it should be good, shouldn't it?

• Robert E. Howard - Solomon Kane: Can you believe I had never read those in English? Well, now it's done. And it's as good as always ( Read more... )
