Funny enough,Eric von Hornblower,your about the only one i can't figure out in taste for books!Fausto,Mirabel,Bjorn,Sybarite,Irene,heterony m,Nnyhav....all have an outline that slowly reveale itself,but you,nope.Appart from blowing your horn and explaining to us simple folks how the all shlumon stand up,.....nada,niet,walou,rien,que dalle.
The idea of the 50 favorite books was yours but you did not comply,and except the divine Amelie and your repugnance for genre,very little transpired of your real love for the things.It might be so obvious to you and the sign so eloquant to the real connaisseur that i missed them altogether.You also can give review about book you didn't read,shooting wiki and comparing article,or stomp elegantly like the hippopotamus in fantasia on view contrary to your but never ,never did i see you giving away feeling about a read.Or maybe the few notes of flute were lost in the general bombast.
No bitterness her,just plain curiosity.Come on man do the fucking list and be done with it.
