Actually reading the German version to maintain language skills. Peter Parker ist Die Spinne und Tony Stark ist Der Eiserne.

Something light after The Captive Mind.

Need a dictionary and the internet to look up references.

I've used excerpts for research. Glad to find it at the Green Valley Book Fair. Now I can read the whole thing for fun.

Ok. I get it. You know a lot about horses. Get on with the story already!

Like it so far. Some of the turns of phrase are outside my language skills, but the story still flows well and the descriptiveness is great. There is also something almost stereotypically "German" about the Elves, but also closer to the Erlkönig tradition than your residents of Lothlorien or Rivendell.
