This is my pick for "a book that was originally written in a different language". It was between this or 1Q84 by Haruki Murakami (a book I really want to finish) and this one won because it's shorter.

Re-reading this to refresh my memory before starting on the sequel!

Still a good series, but I'm not feeling it as much as Saga (which I am actually re-reading); partly due to the art and partly due to Yorick himself, who I don't dislike but he gets on my nerves sometimes. Also, it's getting a bit repetitive (they go to a new place, encounter a hostile group of women, Yorick gets infatuated with someone but always brings up his girlfriend).

Re-reading so I can remember all of the events prior to The Path of Daggers (Book 8). Without revealing spoilers, I'll just say my very lengthy pause between Books 7 and 8 is warranted.

My reading goals for this year include (but are not limited to): resuming series (Wheel of Time, etc.) and books (1Q84, etc.) on pause; rereading beloved series (HP, His Dark Materials, etc.); more graphic novels/comics/manga (Sailor Moon, The Walking Dead, Saga, etc.); reading more non-fiction and epic poetry (Paradise Lost, etc.) and writing more reviews, an enjoyable routine that I would like to continue :)

So far, so good...and I like the direction my shop is heading :)

Why must sleep and work get in the way of my enjoyment?

I'm only stopping because it's 2:17 am and I have work tomorrow...otherwise I wouldn't sleep until I'm finished. It's that good!
