Переведите ! the book i was reading was this book i took out of the library by mistake. they gave me the wrong book, and i didn't notice it till i got back to my room.they gave me out of africa by isak dinesen. i thought it was boring, but it wasn't. it was a very good book. i read a lot. my favourite author is my brother d.b., and my next favourite is ring lardner. my brother gave me a book by ring lardner for my birthday. it had very fanny plays in it, and then it had one story about a traffic policeman that falls in love with a very cute girl that's always speeding. only, he's married, the policeman, so he can't marry her. then this girl killed, because she's always speeding. that story just about killed me. what i like best is a book that's at least fanny. i read a lot of classic books,like the return of the native by thomas hardy and i like them, and i read a lot of war books and mysteries and all but i'm not mad about them too much. what really impresses me is a book that, when you have read it, you wish the author that wrote it was a terrific friend of yours ad you could call him on the phone whenever you felt like it. that doesn't happen much, though. i wouldn't mind calling this isak dinesen and ring lardner. you take that book of human bondage by somerset maugham,though. iread it last summer. it's a pretty good book and all,but i wouldn't want to call somerset maugham. i don't know. he just isn't the kind of a man i'd want to call,that's all. i'd rather call old thomas hardy.
