My Readings

What am I reading today :

This blog is lacking of updates, this page more than the main page and it's even worst since I can no more edite an old note just by clicking on it but I have to go back through the archives of the blog. 

 

[Spring 2024]

MORVAN Jean-David + TCHERKEZIAN Thomas : Missak, Mélinée, et le groupe Manouchian

 

 

Previously [some of the important books from these last years went unnoticed so it could need another update] :

[Summer 2020]

MUSSO Guillaume : La fille de Brooklyn

I didn't liked this book: the writing is out of elegance, that's about a writer who become kind of a detective, and when he goes to New-York City he's mixing away the geography which bothered me (same when I see the Stark Tower in Avengers movies) BUT after my first year correcting my students works that was nice for my brain to read a well french without errors and this gave me the taste for more readings..

[2019]
HEMINGWAY Ernest : Pour qui sonne le glas

I thought there was a missing structure but this is amazing. When you know he was there you think that he could have see or heard of this kind if story for real and it keeps even more your attention.

BRUNAUX Jean-Louis : L'enquête gauloise

That's a collection of comics about french history and I lost the count. I am terribly late on this and I don't even know where am I...

Key-books:

AUZELLE Robert : Clefs pour l'urbanisme.

Centre de recherche d'urbanisme : Livre blanc des arts de la rue.

DE NOBLET Jocelyn : Design : Le geste et le compas.

JARVIS Jeff : What Would Google Do.

MAEDA John : The Laws of Simplicity.

OROZA Ernesto : Objets réinventés, la création populaire à Cuba

Some books I have to read to re-read or to understand:

ASCHER François : La société hypermoderne. Ces événements nous dépassent, feignons d'en être les organisateurs

ASCHER François : Les nouveaux compromis urbains, lexique de la ville plurielle

ASHWORTH Gregory John + VOOGD Henk : Selling the city : marketing approaches in public sector urban planning

AUGER Marc : Non-lieux, Introduction à une anthropologie de la surmodernité

SITTE Camillo : L'art de bâtir les villes, L'urbanisme selon ses fondements artistiques

These lists would never stop so I will complete it in the time.
