Of books and French...
Just finished reading Magician by Raymond E. Fiest. It was a departure gift from a thoughtful friend just before I came to Paris. Thought it a great book... Would recommend it to anyone who's a fantasy genre fan... Never thought I would get into the fantasy genre before... always thought it more a 'male' genre than anything else (forgive me for being politically incorrect here... was ignorant before. ^_^) until Zan got me reading Mercedes Lackey and thus introduced me to fantasy. Thanks gerl! :)
So, Zan, watcha u reading these days? :) Hopefully something I could find in the library here. But considering the pathetically small number of English books in the library, it might not be very possible... And I really oughta borrow some kids' French books so I could improve on my French, which, in my opinion, is a horribly difficult language to learn! It's been 6 months now and still, my spoken French is barely comprehensible! I can read and write ok, but when it comes to speaking, sighz... Gotta practise making the funny in-your-throat 'R' sound and to make my mouth form the '-eux', '-u', '-eau' sounds which are non-existent in English, or Mandarin, for that matter... And make myself sit down and study, which of cos, doesn't sound like it's gonna happen. Bwahaha!
