[...] a different culture. Like Elif Shafak’s ‘The
Bastard of Istanbul’. I’ve previously written a bit on this book and
it’s translation. But this translation comes back to haunt [...]

Hi Sim, OMG, that’s really awful, the translator
did a really stinky job there!
Nope, unfortunately, you wouldn’t be there anyway when I wanted to come
and my budget shrank over night, I’ll tell you why on IM. Ali, hi, glad
you found my tip useful!
let me know when you finish the tag, I’d love to read it!

I think I will take part!!

I found the language lesson really interesting, especially since I am doing a lot of translation work recently.

First of all nice to have you back here. We’ve
missed you.
I will not post about the books I read, the wedding is very close and
I’ve got no time although I’d love to. I’ll only post something that I
remembered reading your advise to Ada Tanasa. A few weeks ago I bought
“De ce iubim femeile” in Spanish and I wanted to quit reading it when I
saw the word “canadiana” (parka jacket) translated as “canadiense”
(canadian). I read it all just to see if I found any other error in the
translation. I can’t say that I loved the book, it’s easy to read but
Cartarescu can do better.
Kisses. Will you come to Barcelona next month?

Ohhhh… horror books. Stephen King Puls, Dan Brown Meteor (cool), and right now I am deep into King’s “The Stand”
And I read blogs. Many many many blogs. LOL
(does this have a time span? like in the last month? week?)

I have 4 ebooks waiting for me too – from this really special friend… Do you know who I am talking about?
