I wish I was fluent in other languages so I could enjoy literature from other cultures... as it is, I barely have time to read in English. Although, I met my reading goal for this year and hope to squeeze in a few more before New Years.
G.B.Shaw said, "“No man fully capable of his own language ever masters another.” Experience shows that this is total bullshit. Quite au contraire, people fully capable of their own language have no difficulty studying - and mastering - as many foreign languages as they want. Reading your posts, the old bear (and old teacher, let's not forget) can guarantee that you will have no problem with any language that has the privilege to attract your gracious attention, time permitting.

Interesting, as I just finished teaching my English classes about Shaw's Pygmalion. I spent four years attempting to learn Spanish, but my teacher in high school didn't speak it fluently either... so I think I just lost interest. If I had the time, I would especially love to learn proper Spanish, Croatian, Comanche, Navajo, and Sign Language. Ooooh so much I would like to learn!!

Ask not what bears can do for you, but what you can do for bears. (razz)
When one is in agreement with bears one is always correct. (mae)

What did you think of The Thief of Always? And how is Cycle of the Werewolf, I just recently purchased it
Like Counter Culture Shock on Facebook
both are good, but not awesomely good
The Thief of Always is the best Barker I've read so far. The finale is awesomely good, by the way.

I keep wanting to try some Clive Barker. I'd really like to try the Books of Blood but can't find an affordable one-volume edition, which I'd prefer.
