Which I still haven't read yet. I did, however, find out recently that Cheery Littlebottom's last name is Sh'rt'azs in Dwarfish. :-D

I am finally going to read "Casual Vacancy" by JK Rowling. I've put it off for far too long.

heh, until a year ago I only had read the books in a German translation, so reading them in English was interesting. All these meaningful names were translated as well. Vimes was called "Mumm", Carrot was "Karotte" and Cheery Littlebottom was "Grinsi Kleinpo". Took some time getting used to it. As well as thinking of Treacle Mine Street as "Sirupminenstraße".
Anyway, it's a shame reading Pratchett in a translation, there are so many untranslatable puns.
BeoPuppy:
chugging through dutch literature at stellar pace. I've been asked to sit in on the oral lit. exams at my girlfriend's school. It would be nice if I had something intelligent to contribute.
Anyway ... Komt een vrouw bij de dokter, Turks fruit, de uitvreter, kinderjaren, dagboek van Anne Frank, de aanslag, de kroongetuige, red ons Maria Montanelli, het diner, Eilandgasten, Kaas, Oeroeg ... and so, so much more ...

Just finished reading the Rats and about to start the Fog, both by James Herbert. Quite sad to hear that he passed away during the week as he was one of my favourite writers as a teenager.
