Just finished The Three Musketeers and started on Hermann Hesse - The Prodigy.

Just made a sad discovery for my books I am currently reading...

Poor Tawm! That blows!
Am reading a Japanese language course (The Japanese word for I is watakushi), and a Hermann Hesse story collection. I loved The Prodigy by him very much. Oh, and there's Susan Straight's I Been In Sorrow's Kitchen And Licked Out All The Pots. I'm not reading it, but that title rocks!

For the Japanese Book you're reading - is it to learn Japanese?? (I get you know how to say "I") - but is it a story about the culture or to learn the dialect?

Learning languages is a hobby of mine. I did Dutch, English, French and German at school, and did Russian, Latin, Romanian, Polish by myself. Also started on Spanish and Italian at one point, but never pulled through; my Spanish language course was too old and I didn't feel like Italian anymore after my holiday plans there got cancelled. Oh, and Bulgarian, from the time I had a Bulgarian sweetheart.

Speaking of Bulgarian, I've just found the Bulgarian comic masterpiece by Aleko Konstantinov on Google Books: Bai Ganyo. Very happy about that since I only had the first four stories and couldn't find the rest.

Just finished RAGE OF THE DRAGON... now awaiting for the 4th and final book of the series to eventually be printed and released... I hate the waiting game...!

Currently reading.... Callahan's Crosstown Saloon.

It's a fun book. Have you played the game, too? I do have an installer for it.

I started the game, don't remember why I didn't finish it. Think I'll go back to it after I finish the book.

Finished another Hesse, with the gorgeous title Knulp, and just started on Het Groenenstein Syndroom by Hans Koekoek, a non-fiction about a former boarding school in The Hague with a horrifying regime.

Finished it just now. I won't sleep tonight... eeeek.

Just finished another great Clive Cussler adventure, The Race.

Anything like Those Magnificent Men in Their Flying Machines?

Errr........No.
