Christophe’s Comments (group member since Oct 12, 2015)

Christophe’s comments from the Challenge Lecture Popsugar 2015 group.

Ah, tiens, tu es toujours sur le challenge 2015... :-) N'hésite pas à relire Dubliners en anglais un jour: ça se lit facilement - les romans de Joyce, Ulysses ou Finnegan's Wake, c'est nettement plus rude!

Chouette liste! Tu avais quasiment bouclé quand je m'y suis mis pour de bon.

Bon, je poste ça brut de décoffrage, vu que j'arrive dans le groupe alors qu'on a aux trois quarts fini... J'ai gardé les noms de catégories en anglais, parce que c'est là dessus que je me base et qu'une partie des livres sont en anglais de toute façon.

J'en ai quatre ou cinq en cours; après, plus que cinq et c'est bouclé!
