Greetings from Geneva!

More and more visitors come to this site and some may be frustrated not to find anything that they can read. Of course it is possible to use a web translator and I know that some people did this in order to read at least the welcome page.

 

Though, I thought that it would be a good idea to start the English section eventually. First, a few words about this site. You may wonder why on the one hand its name is Fouretou and, on the other hand, why there is no pictures at all.

 

The word “fouretou” as such doesn’t exist. It is an abbreviation, as it were, of the French word “fourre-tout”, which is a holdall. You all know of course that you never put anything into a holdall, but only all you want it to contain. It is exactly the same for this site: a place where you can find useful tips, but also entertaining things like stories, etc.

 

What's happening? It's midnight, you're longing for a good book but of course all the libraries and bookshops are closed? Never mind. You'll go and buy a brand new book tomorrow, but for the time being you can go to an online library and find yourself a good "old" book. Links are to be found on the electronic libraries page.

 

It won't do? Then I have other hot tips for you thanks to some of my friends, who have reading pages as well. More links will be added as I come across them, but let me first advise you John Mullen's Reading Page. You will find excellent stuff there.

 

Others have reading pages? I'll gladly send visitors over to you (or at least suggest that they might do so), so write to me and let me know about the URL.

 

I usually write in French, but at times I also write in English. Here is a short story. Or perhaps you'd rather read a crazy Christmas tale that I wrote to wish a merry Christmas to buddies on a mailing-list in 1997?

 

 

Thank you for visiting my site!
