I assume that this note about Felon was written before the one in my other email, and that he is still "Lazarus". :) Hope so!

I read The Master and Margarita during my holidays and enjoyed it thoroughly, even if I found the second part a bit less attractive than the first. In some places, the tone recalled me Calvino. (Maybe I should write the reverse...) I'm glad that I decided to read it finally. My favourite character is Belemoth.

I didn't deserve it...
Sincerely hope you shall like the book. After all, Pinget was a kind of solicitor or lawyer if I remember correctly.

Je ne suis pas fanatique de compte-rendus sportifs (c'est un euphémisme). Mais c'est amusant à lire...

Très bonne idée de lire L'Inquisitoire en anglais, car en français ce serait probablement terrible. J'en ai eu une idée en parcourant quelques pages de la traduction anglaise qui, pour moi, serait inabordable. Le problème de la traduction, c'est que certains détails et jeux de mots ne peuvent être rendus (voir à ce sujet ma revue et aussi celle de lriley qui m'avait conseillé ce livre).
Bonne chance.

I finally bought Le Maître et Marguerite (in French since I do not read Russian—but I saw somewhere that some readers learned Russian just for being able to read this book in its original language...) I'll give you my impressions next month.

I wonder if I ever mentioned to you Robert Pinget's L'Inquisitoire (published in the 1950s). I suspect it would be the kind of book you love.

Yeah, that's right: I beware of reviews! The same is true for introductions: I'm used to skip them and to read them afterwards. Some introductions are so badly done that they reveal the whole plot.

I think I will try The Master and see what happens. Thank you.

I have one free week scheduled in August, and I wondered which book I could take with me. (And not an FS book, because I will be reading in the sun!)
The other day, I looked up in a bookshop at the French translation of The Master and Margarita. I was simultaneously tempted to buy it, and also dubitative on the few passages I read. They reminded me badly of Ulysses, which I could never read... As I know The Master is one of your favourites, would you suggest that I bypass my prejudice and go ahead with it anyway? I'm afraid to miss something if I don't try it.
Thanks for your comment.

wow - 2 more books and you'll hit 3,000!

RE: Batrachomyomachia

Is there an English translation you would recommend?

Os.

While your offer would be of interest to me, I am not sure how much benefit Anne would derive if I were to review it. I am a state court judge with limited practical familiarity with Federal Rules of Evidence and Rules of Procedure. Although we have adopted some Federal Rules of Evidence, we do not follow all of them. We also have our own (some would say arcane) Code of Civil Procedure. We have a similar provision for disqualification under the Illinois Code of Judicial Conduct, but not identical. We do not have broad general power to appoint experts in cases.

With that caveat, if she would like me to read it, I will. Since I cannot promise any intelligent response, I would understand if she were to say "no, thanks." Should she wish to send it, you may give her my e-mail address from my profile.

Thank you for the recommendation of Huysmans, but I have a hard enough time working my way through "normal" syntax. I will have to be much more fluent before I tackle that one.

I found your colleague's article on Lexis. Thanks for mentioning it. I am interested in all aspects of the "race" issue and the law. It will be interesting to see the opinion on the Voting Rights Act that should come down before the end of this term. Of course, the outcome does not appear to be in much doubt based upon the current makeup of the Court.

I am just a circuit court judge in Cook County, Illinois, hearing civil cases, with no inclination to hear criminal cases, but the topics interest me. As I am sure you know from your work, Illinois has been at the center of "death penalty" controversy on a number of levels.

Should you ever get as far west as Chicago, let me know. It would be a pleasure to meet you.

I added you to my interesting libraries, first, because you are the only other person among the hundreds of thousands of members who has listed "Judging in Good Faith". Second, I found your library on American Constitutional Law interesting, and found on it books to add to my wishlist.
