Thanks for the list Book, it looks great.

I just have one question, as I have an English copy of The President and it looks difficult/expensive to actually source it in Italian

Which of these options do you think would be best?
a) Read it in English and count it as a non-WL (this would be my preference)
b) replace it with another Italian WL
c) wait to see if I can get it in Italian

No rush as I know you’re busy and I’m going to start with Oblomov.
Thanks

Hi Pamela - The book is not on the English list only on the Italian I have no problem with you reading in English and taking your points that way :)

Sorry for the late reply do you want another Italian or are you switching to normal list now?

[Pamela]

Thanks Book, I would like a normal one please. I’ll get an Italian one when I read The President.
