Author Comments: 

Read in 2006. I've read all of these in french language, but I wrote the titles in engligh for a better understanding.
I hope I didn't forget anything.
(lit.) means literally.
[] are read in english language.
*re-read.

I think I'm the only one who didn't like Hamlet that much, maybe because I had great expectations. The play leave me cold, I didn't think the sentences were natural and everything go too fast. Maybe I have to see it in theater. I will re-read it in some years...

Woody Allen has been I good discover. I like absurd humor. Look foward to read other books from him.

September was the month of comic books I guess, it's not usual. Some of them are really good.
Favorites: Ghost World, Sin City #1 and Asterix #5: Asterix and the Banquet.
300 had deceive me. The graphics are nice no problem about that. But the story is more focus on the action, I would like more deep characters like Sin City. I will probably prefer the movie.

I've finish all Asterix comics. I still can't believe how much historic facts we can find in these. This was a good idea to start them.
My top 5:
Asterix #5: Asterix and the Banquet, René Goscinny and Albert Uderzo
Asterix #10: Asterix the Legionary, René Goscinny and Albert Uderzo
Asterix #3: Asterix and the Goths, René Goscinny and Albert Uderzo
Asterix #20: Asterix in Corsica, René Goscinny and Albert Uderzo
Asterix #15: Asterix and the Roman Agent, René Goscinny and Albert Uderzo

I like Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen. At first, I had a bad apprehension (I hate Mansfield Park), but I enter deep in the characters (now I want a Mr. Darcy!!!). Better than Sense and Sensibility in my opinion.

I decide to re-read all the Sailor Moon comics I had (15 in total). This was not as good as when I was a kid. The publicity of derived products annoyed me. Damn, in my memories SM roxxor!!! I remember that this is because of Sailor Moon that I started to eat rice, because it was asian lol. :P
This is sad that I'm not feeling the same magic again. Some graphics are nice, but there is a lot of repetitions...

The year is ending with the beginning of the Dirk Gently series, well... series... the 2 1/2 novels. I found The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy funnier and crazier, but I want to read the complete work of Douglas Adams.

96 entries this year!!!
This is my first year on listology, I will try to do reviews next year.

Hey, don't sweat it, I wasn't huge on Hamlet either.
