How To Write An Offer Letter For A Lease

My mother invited me to play a little game literary while I was abroad, and then I completely forgot.

I just remember, even if it's not really news, I'm paid to exercise. Even if, well, we had made the remark in the comments on this game that this list was purely Anglo-Saxon and therefore not truly representative for French readers.

But let me explain the game: Just select from a predefined list of 100 literary works all those we read. It seems it's the BBC who commissioned this "poll" claiming that most people read 6 pounds or less of this list.

Have you read more books Than 6 of contention? The BBC Believes MOST People Will Have read only 6 of The 100 books listed here. Instructions: Bold Those books you've read In Their Entirety. Italicize The Ones You Started to read only didn't finish gold excerpt year.

Finally, it makes me 32 of that list that I read in my life as a reader that is far from over. Some books on this list, not yet read, are books that I want to read one day (as Children minui t Salman Rushdie The Count of Monte Cristo by Alexandre Dumas , Memory of Geisha Arthur Golden, or James Joyce's Ulysses ).

Being a great reader, they tend to say there are plenty of books that do not know, especially in books called "classics". But this does not mean that most contemporary writers that we read may be more likely are not too good. That just show us the literary treasures that surround us, the immense diversity of literature, and happiness that it can deliver. Each player can create his own list of 100 literary works that have or will have in his life.
