Following my call for helpIn the interest of my literary culture, here are the books I've chosen to take with me.
By the way, I'd like to apologize in advance to all those who offered me books. Due to lack of space, but above all weight, I was obliged to choose to take only 3 books, 1 guide and 1 visual dictionary. All the books you gave me are at home, just waiting for my return. Who knows, maybe I'll have acquired a taste for reading?
For the poor beginner that I am, I've made some "simple" choices that probably won't appeal to everyone. But, from what I've been told, they're a safe bet for beginners. Do you validate?
Nicolas Bouvier is a sure bet for any traveller! Happy reading!
I validate Philippe Delerm to death! Read it well!
L'usage du monde... very good, although I wouldn't have taken it on a trip. I think it's more a book to make you want to leave than a book to travel with. And as for simplicity, I've often pulled out the dictionary; the vocabulary is quite select ;-)
Delerm's validation too!
I validate Anna Gavalda
I loved Philippe Delerm and Anna Gavalda ;-)
Bah for a trip, I validate the travel guide.
For a trip to countries where you don't necessarily speak the language, I validate the visual dictionary.
When a book is called "The First Sip of Beer", I can't help but agree.
The other two I haven't read, but these authors are normally good values, so I think I can validate them!
The Gavalda, not to be read on lonely nights when you're going to shoot yourself :-)
You didn't take any of my recommendations, so no, I don't validate :p
Hehe, I'm glad you followed one of my recommendations, namely Philippe Delerm's book! And I see that others agree with your choice!
Sometimes, just for fun, I re-read a short story from the book. It only takes a few minutes, but it's good for you and makes you feel better!
I wish you all the best in your travels, which I follow with passion!
