Oh that's great, someone knows the books
Serena if you've got time to read (and if you want to read this lol), the others books are more interesting than the 1st one, moreover when she met Jondalar

Oh yes! That saga was very popular...I think I am going to follow your advice and read on!

It's a prehistoric saga in 5books. It's really interesting

Oh, I know this book ! I mean, I havent't read it, but I've seen the movie - with Antonio Banderas and Winona Ryder, and many other famous actors ! I liked it! I'm very curious to read the book too.

ok
personnally i don't have a big list "to-read" but if you've got some interesting books which i can find in french, i could read them...

My "to read" list includes among others, the classic russian writers (I don't dare to start them yet, I find them difficult and intriguing and I need a 'mental preparation' ), a looot of philosophers that I know because I studied them but I haven't read the entire book. Many more philosophers that I don't know or don't fully understand.

Kary Mullis - Dancing Naked in the Mind Field - is a collection of essays that was recommennded to me like a very interesting and good book. Controversial as well. But I'm not sure if you can find it French.

If something else comes in my mind, I'll tell you

I'm trying to finish now "The Last Mohican" and the next book I want to read, besides those necessary for school, is Errico Malatesta - an italian anarchist. But I can't find the title
Maybe my teacher gave me some wrong informations...

i'm not really fan of classical book. I had to read some of them in french for school but i don't think they are really impassioning.
I'll search if i can find the book who are telling me in french... Maybe in the library.

If you like science fiction, i've got 1 or 2 good books...

Well, you can find a looooooot of books. The only problem is that there is the possibility to read the book with slight errors in it.
I can give you some links: http://www.literaturepage.com/ and http://www.gutenberg.org/wiki/Main_Page.I have found many good books here. Usually you can find the classic ones, the famous ones and the ones that are studied in schools.

But to tell you the truth, it's hard to read from the Pc. It's not pleasent either.
It's much, much better to have the book in your hands. :study:

It can be useful when you study for a project or when you're searching some information.

As for reading in portugese, i think it's possible. why not!? I was looking for '1984' and I found it. But in some weird, unknown language. I think it was a nordic language

Kary Mullis - Dancing Naked in the Mind Field
i can't find this book in french in the most famous online frenc bookshop so i think they haven't got it in the library. And for the moment, i'm not able to read it in english

Well..I'm not a fan of the SF type, though my friends try to change this
Ok, ok...since everybody insists, I will have to try one day. I can be stubborn, especially in misconceptions concerning books.

I'm not really fan too but some of them are very interesting but you hav to like robots or special things lol
