Hi, I read your posts in the discussion of the book this month, so I think I will appreciate your views on two works of translation. Will you please go to the thread I started in general literature and give me some honest feedback? I am sorry. It is long. However what I wrote is not very boring. All the Best, Virginia

What can I say Sancho; your epilogue was pure art. I was humbled to be a part of it and look forward to our next collaboration.

The forum is kind of convoluted but I've come across several good links for free books.

Hi Sancho, I am surprised I have never met you; I see you've been on the forum quite a while. Of course, I am a superficial creature and seldom find myself on any thread of true content Now that you know where I stay; give me a holler every once in a while

Just teasing, Sancho...great meeting you on the thread!
