Another month; another readalong.I've been trying to read Zola's Germinal for nearly 2 years now. The problem is not the book. It's the format.
My only copy of Germinal (until this week) was on my epad. And it turns out I hate reading books on my epad! I love paper books too much.
I was delighted to see that Fanda is once again hosting Zoladdiction during April (Zola's birth month)...and better still...that there will be a Germinal readalong within that.
Win/win!
My paper edition is translated by Raymond MacKenzie.
I chose this edition after checking out the various translations options at this site - Compare Literary Translations.
I hope you can join us.

Enjoy! Wish I could squeeze Germinal in this month...
ReplyDeleteI have been trying to read Germinal for soooo long! This might be the perfect time to finally pick it up.
ReplyDeleteI'm joining - love this book! :)
ReplyDeleteNot joining in the read-along (I'm obsessed with Trollope at the moment) but good luck -- I loved Germinal! I read the Tancock translation in Penguin classics. It's just a brilliant novel. Germinal turned me into a huge Zola fan.
