2018 : A Year far from Kurdistan

[Piling]

Spring in France is worse than winter in Duhok

[Anthea]

Spring in England is rubbish

Heatwaves followed by frostbite

I start today my first ASMR Youtube reading :

I am going to read many classical books in French.

(people who don't know ASMR won't understand why I whisper)

[Anthea]

Personally, I do not like ASMR and would not be able to enjoy a book read in such a way

I like audio books read loud and clear so that I do not have to concentrate on them

Perhaps you could read something in English

[Piling]

The ability to feel ASMR is genetic as synesthesia, so not everyone can enjoy it … though insomniac sleepers could appreciate it.

Concerning loud reading, I wait for a new micro with a better quality to make audiobooks.

About reading in English, the problem is that I have probably an obvious French accent… so it might seem weird for English native speakers.

[Anthea]

I like the French accent

There are some terrible accents in England

[Piling]

I think that the most terrible accents are Americans

Which book would you like to listen ?

I have been waiting YEARS for an English translation to one of your books

As you have written a series best to start at the beginning - though I would rather have a written translation

If I had an English translation I might be able to interest someone in it - TV - Netflix - Amazon - a film producer (not that I know any)

[Piling]

It is impossible to make a good translation in literature to another language than your native one.

Your books have already been translated into other languages so why not English

[Piling]

Because an Italian wanted to translate it and found a publisher and a Kurdish/Turkish publisher wanted to publish it and found a translator.

If an English translator proposes himself, I won't say no, I will check his/her ability to do it

Thinking

[Piling]

France is stormy nowadays.

France is stormy nowadays.

You are just trying to make me jealous

South England is expecting this week to be the hottest week

I blame St. Swithin, even after all these 100s of years he is normally correct

[Piling]

I talked about political sky.
