Books & Money

[franceslievens]

I finally decided to spend my hard earned cash on Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell, but actually I have no idea if it's worth my precious euros. People don't agree if it's good or not. Maybe I better stick with the classics: H.G. Wells' War of the Worlds (anything is better than a Tom Cruise film) or Edgar Allen Poe. Or I'll read something by Eco, or another Irving. Damn, too many books to choose from, too little time to read them. I get stressed just thinking about what I would, should or want to read.

I love the book especially the footnotes. It's a real labour of love.

Borges, Borges, Borges...

Sorry, it's the one I mentioned. (But I'll get to Borges eventually...)
