    I don't really know how to answer this question. So far I remember having read 26 books in english or spanish (ok, just one in spanish ^^). But I read a lot of comic books in english, so if we count them, I have read far much than 31 books :P
    And even if we don't count comic books, I have juste started to read a lot in english (novels I mean), so this number will increase very soon. :)

    Oh I don't know exactly, but more than 31 for sure. I've been reading in english for 10 years now so...including essays and classics. The hardest : Shakespeare, but it was ok. I read also a bit in german!

    Tal: Is there a big difference between prices of Amazon FR and Amazon UK ? Because I thought shipping wasn't free from Amazon UK, so I'm wondering.
    (well in fact, even if it is I won't use Amazon UK since I can only pay on the French one, but I still want to know!)
    As for The Book Depository, it's always good to check on amazon since they have their books on the market place and you can easily compare!

    Sita : Ninety percent of the time, even with the shipping it's less expensive than the French prices for the same english book... And very often I buy on the marketplace of Amazon UK.

    Looking at their website is a good idea because they do not have exactly the same prices on the marketplace and on their own website. Usually you do not have the 25-50% off for pre-order on amazon/marketplace.

    Oh yes, I forget to count comics books. But well... it's not really harsh to understand with the drawing and there are less words than a novel. Maybe, 1 normal page = 5 comics pages

    I think I've read about 15 books in English language... I read in English since two years. This year I'm particularly motivated because I've bought the entire collection of the Doctor Who novels, and I LOVE these books. :heart:

    Thanks Taliesin, I didn't know that website (i.e. Thebookdepository). Their books are new, aren't they ?
    (and yes, English books are not so expensive at least ^^)


    Yes Lau, the books are new, and they send everything separately so you can order both published and soon to be published books at the same time, they'll arrive as soon as they're in stock.
