French Cuisine As A World Cultural Heritage? What Next? Italian Sylishness?
yep, radio France and France inter are great. really. i’m french and France inter is my only radio. if your into historical music, you can try “la prochaine fois je vous le chanterais”. its a musical show, but the animator speak a fucking perfect french. ( Like : a little bit pedantic, but well… he is always using the right word in the right place. ) theire is a theme by week, and a playlist according to. often, he present several version of the same song ( in english, then the redo in french , or vice versa . its in the end, the séquence called “a deux, c’est mieux” ) well, i dont think my advice are the best on this thread, but well, i’m a fan
may i ask why you learn french ? even us, we find its a quiet useless language. spanish, russian, arab, are so more usefull. but maybe its just for the sport ? in any case, thank to learn our language

Well franQ (if that is your REAL name) I take your point regarding the movie and thank you for your research. I love Mysteries of Pittsburgh and Wonder Boys and Kavalier and Clay an am happy to read all that Chabon can write. I am not so interested in his work in motion pictures. I enjoy the Wonder Boys film even with its changes. It does sound like the Mysteries movie will be sad and pathetic. Chabon loves Hollywood and it may be all about the $ but it also may just be about him being a geek. When he was here speaking he talked about some of the Spider Man script stuff and Kavalier and Clay being in the works and Mysteries of Pittsburgh, too and I must say he just seemed really excited about it. From what I see on the cover of People Magazine it looks like a terribly glamorous pot pie and if he likes walking down the red carpet and having people wonder who he is then that is what he likes. I am happy to say I do not go to the movies much anymore and while I may see Mysteries of Pittsburgh if it should be at the Iowa City Public Library I am not going to let my enjoyment of Chabon books be affected.
Thanks for stopping by!

I see that Littlebang has “tagged” me to recommend some Dhamma books. While what may seem my “favorite” always depends on arising conditions at the moment, here are some books that I am always happy to go back to:
1. The Word of the Buddha
The Path to Deliverence
by Venerable Nyanatiloka
2. The Budda's Teaching in His Own Words
by Venerable Nanamoli
3. The Noble Eightfold Path
Transcendental Dependent Arising
by Venerable Bodhi
4. The Heart of Buddhist Meditation
by Venerable Nyanaponika
5. The Budda and His Teaching
by Venerable Narada Thera
Some other books which are also reliable and beneficial and which might just-as-well be in such a list are:
i. Dependent Arising
by Venerable Piyadassi Thera
ii. The Self- Made Private Prison
by Prof. Lily de Silva
iii. The Message of the Buddha
by Prof. K. N. Jatatilleke
iv. The Noble Eightfold Path
by Ledi Sayadaw
v. To the Last Breath
by Ajaan Maha Boowa
vi. Directions for insight
by Ajaan Kor Kau-Suan-Luang
The Buddhist Publication Society website also has reliable readings on its On-Line Library from which one might choose depending on what one wants to know next.
In particular, I would like to recommed the books in the BPS Wheel Series, which was origionally edited by Venerable Nyanaponika and Bhikkhu Bodhi and is now slowly, book by book, being digitalized and processed to be put on the BPS website :
Most of the above-mentioned books in this list may also be found on the Internet by searching under title and author.
