I meant Comic books! *slaps forehead* Couldn't remember what they were called.

There's books everywhere at my parents place. I have some at my own place...mostly the fantasy stuff and mystery/thriller type novels. I probably have about 50 books that I keep, and rotate through a dozen that I've bought from yard sales. Once I read them, I often give them to a library.

It may depend on what you meant by "comic books", but even then France isn't the most prolific. America produces them by the ton, as does Japan, and there are plenty of British comic books.

Even if you narrow it down even further to just "graphic novels", then Japan is still the outright winner.

The german names make more sense.
Miraculix, Miracle-worker
Idefix, Fidelity, loyalty.
Majestix, Majesty
Troubadix, Troubadour.

Right you are.

German version for the win!

I read all the Tintin comics (literally all) and a couple of the Asterix and Obelix comics.

Any one heard of the Conspiracy 365 books? All peeps in Australia would get more out of it.

My aunt got my brother all the tintin's and Me some Asterix and Obelix. We have some movies too (not exactly on the topic of books)

Where did you find the Tintin comics?

I've read Conspiracy 365; they're pretty good but I don't get the impression that the thirteenth book was written by the same author

They are all written by a group of three authors, I believe.

That would make sense

So, I claimed to be a book lover, and then I read this thread. So, I've maybe got 30 books.... And most of them I've read so many times that I'm tired of them. (Almost.)

I didn't even know there were so many Warriors books!!! I only have five....

Also, Japanese comics are called manga, and 'anime' cannot be classed under 'cartoon'.
