What kind of books are you interested in, apart from them being written in a foreign language?

French: Any play by Sartre is a good read if you are into "deep" stuff; those crime novels by San Antonio if you are into thrillers; and of course those Franquin comics (Gaston Lagaffe) are quite priceless.

Anything my Moliere.

I also read Le Mort d'Arthur in French in high school. For some reason my English teacher frowned upon this.

The deep stuff is good, but I also enjoy just fun reads about anything pretty much. Romance, mystery, drama.

I just checked out some of those comics and they were too cute.

where do you guys buy your books from?

Most of mine either come from Amazon or Borders/Waldenbooks. I get discounts from both them for buying entirely too much from them.
