Start (re)reading and welcome to the clubhouse.

All 785 pages???

Can I do it a 100 pages at a time?

We'll have to (edit - ...refer...) that to the committee for a decision - no one has ever asked before!

It has to be done in one sitting.

drypenn · 12-05-2014, 02:11 AM

You, guys, are impossible!

Can we have somebody here record it in audiobooks? I promise I will listen to it in the car, at home, while at meals and before bedtime.

Just get somebody with a sultry, sexy voice with Russian accent.

Jean could undoubtedly do it in French (sultry & sexy? I can't comment.)
Mark could do it in a cross between Kiwi & Saffer.
There must be a variety of American voices (Racer, Steve, THE MOD!! - take your pick: Well, better rule Racer out he is too busy building wings for the best plane in the world)
I have no idea about Jac - but his breath might be a bit overpowering even on a recording!

mrs. drypenn (my avatar) will definitely be pissed if she finds out I'm listening to a guy with a sultry voice crossed between Kiwi and saffer....

Art. France gave us some of the best artworks on the planet. Manet, Monet, Doré, Rodin, Renoir, Gauguin, van Gogh, Matisse, the list goes on and on.

French cuisine I actually like a lot, but above all things French, I love the art. I could live sans croissants, baked brie, and crêpes if I absolutely had to, though the world would be a truly cruel and uncivilized place without them, but live without the art? NEVER. This, I just absolutely love it. I have had it on my wall for years and years and it will never be removed till I croak.

Some say the French, like the hociR, are merely misunderstood*...or not...

* Easy enough to do, oiu?

What ?! Snails are not just food. They are excellent food. I could eat an entire tray ... easy.

magkelly · 12-05-2014, 08:00 AM

Non , Jean, sauf si vous aimez manger caoutchouc ... :P

normhead · 12-05-2014, 08:27 AM

Oh man, I was eating my breakfast dude.... I wonder how long before my appetite comes back.

VoiceOfReason · 12-05-2014, 08:51 AM

That's pretty gross.

Oysters > Snails > Meat Jelly
