I wonder if teenagers do still (mine doesn't!) and how much a facet of the lingering influence of the Nobel that was.Deborahhttp://www.deborah-lawrenson.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2023956444265128672.post-81714917128050182052011-07-09T22:51:13.492+08:002011-07-09T22:51:13.492+08:00I've been thinking about what to do for the Pa...I've been thinking about what to do for the Paris in July celebration. Short stories are a good idea. I wonder if the 14 Nobels for France should really be listed as 14 prizes for the French language. <br /><br />I've also been wondering about Nobel prizes in general. I'm currently reading Herta Muller who recently won the Nobel prize. I'm not sure just how impressed I am by her book The Appointment yet. Of course, the prize goes for a body of work not a single book.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06906212382849291562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2023956444265128672.post-45802711318001080022011-07-09T22:48:14.503+08:002011-07-09T22:48:14.503+08:00Read a lot Sartre & Camus In my late teens ear...Read a lot Sartre & Camus In my late teens early 20s thoroughly enjoyed Sartre's Roads to reason trilogy(tetrology that wasn't) + Nausea & B+N, but was a bigger fan a Camus & his absurdists ideals loved the plague & the fall adored Rebel & a collected essays which I both still have & am waiting on the arrival of exile & the kingdom.<br />Enjoyed this post,<br />Thanks.@parridhlanternhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12793548943992250238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2023956444265128672.post-66891256178121967402011-07-09T22:01:06.927+08:002011-07-09T22:01:06.927+08:00I really enjoyed reading this.

It brought me back to a period when I devoured these authors as well as Voltaire, etc. I just went through my TBR pile and pulled up a few classics that I've been meaning to read and haven't had a chance. It's time to revisit some of these authors. I find their personal lives as fascinating as their writing. Thank you for sharing.Curling up by the Firehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08469976660269940990noreply@blogger.com
