My circle book arrived! And Arcane 17 by André Breton, one for the 1001 list, from eBay. I'm always impressed with the French books you're reading. Never even considered reading André Breton 😉

It's a monthly read for one of my GR groups, and very expensive in English! And also very short! Although having glanced at it, I'm afraid he might be one of those writers of long and complex sentences that I struggle with even in English. So I'm not sure how I will get on.
There's another book on the 1001 list that's only available in the original Korean or a French translation. I've ordered the first volume of that in French, but there are 10 volumes... I don't think I will be reading them all.

What is the Korean/French one, I'm curious 😉
