[!@#$%!]

past couple of days i was reading this academic article (but a good one, no bullshit) about a book of stories from the mexican revolution (cartucho). had to do with the multiple spanish editions and the bad english translations and how good and important the book was, feeding masterpieces like pedro páramo or 100 years of solitude.

anyway in there it's mentioned how one of the condemned to the firing squad loved reading the three musketeers. which i haven't read since i was 10. i know i was 10 because we moved that year and my book stayed behind.

so i decided to reread it... but in the original french. it's in the gutenberg project and kindle has a free french dictionary.

holy fuck! i'm so out of practice, it's a long slog. but thank fuck for e-books which lighten the burden of dictionary searches.
