books

Series of investigative fictions, murders, crime and humor, by the fierce scottish redhead Imogene McCarthery. I read that when I was about 11. I think i’m still a fan of those characters and universe. There must be 7 books.

Author: Charles Exbrayat.

Round the World in 80 days by Jules Verne

The Little Prince by Antoine de St-Exupéry

Oliver Twist By Charles Dickens

Au Bonheur des Dames by Emile Zola

The adventures of Tom Sawyer by Mark Twain

The adventures of Sherlock Holmes by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

I’m not too much a fan of fantasy, more of fantastic, and sci-fi some too, but I really fell in Robin Hobb’s universe in the Royal Assassin series. It’s dramatic, adventure, action, depth, good characters, tragic turmoils and last minute events.

I read to 11, for now. Looking forward to read 12 and 13. Soon I hope.

When I see a movie a movie with a good story, whatever the effects are, I always search if there’s not a writer behind it. If people had more often this curiosity, I’m sure they would be delighted to really come into the magic world of the adventurer, the dreamer, or the genius who created the vision, often the only that’s good because it is like it was imagined.

All this to say I’m looking for the book. It’s in re-edition in France for March 2008. But I’d rather buy the original from 1979, if possible.
