change in the lineup....
ok, so i am NOT reading Gilead right now.......2 of the 3 paperbacks i had ordered by the author Raymond Queneau arrived yesterday......and i could not resist launching into at least one of them...i have started with Sunday in the Life, published in english in 1951.....but certainly the story dates back til a time when soldier wore the flat 'kepi' style of hats........i cannot divulge any of the plot.....as my child who would prefer to read the book en francais has requested a moratorium on any discussion until the time when said books are located in the original language......and this is a shame...because so far the book in question is funny in the ways that Lolita was funny.......lots of wordplay and absurdity......and somehow i can see the movie made from it on the screen as an indie lowbudget production.....not that a film has been made...but that it reads like an arthouse film......and i am laughing aloud.....which i also prefer in books whenever possible......a good read with humorous undertones.......
