I also realized that books had some interesting things to tell about people and life.<br />3 & 4)Year after that, City by Simak and Lord of the rings by Tolkien opened the door to SFF.<br />5)Myth and tragedy in ancient Greece by J-P Vernant : here we are, myths aren't only stories to be told but to be analyzed, studied, understood.<br />These aren't books to carry to the <i>desert island</i> but books which changed something in me. Common point : they opened my mind to new "worlds".<br /><br /><br /><br />Hélènehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14536087828015387436noreply@blogger.com
