Also - why do you have multiple copies ? I have 3 copies of Madame Bovary . One in English , a paperback in French and a beautiful old hard cover in French . Though I’m thinking of another in English by a different translator .
that’s incredible! i have similar reasons, especially for les misérables. it’s my favorite book of all time & the differing translations/languages fascinate me!

I LOVE that idea regarding different translations.
Thank you ! This is wonderful . I loved seeing Stephen King on this list.
I 61 and had never read any Stephen king. I love French literature and non fiction ( mostly expository books ) . Then a friend recommend
KING . At first I poo - pooed it . But I trust her judgment and she recommended I start with 11/22/63 and OMG 😳 AMAZING 🤩
I’m not sure I could handle Boewulf LOL
and now - I’m also going to read the last book on your list about art ( which I know nothing about ) .
Happy reading .
