    I'm reading a few Dutch translations; just finished the Dutch versions of 'The cat who moved a mountain' and 'Cries in the Night' and started on 'Rosemary's Baby'. I rarely read translations because my English is as good or better and I often find myself translating stuff back into English. However I was at the second-hand store looking for cheap books and they sounded interesting... and they were. 'The Cat who...' books are always good, I have a bunch of them in English. Cries in the Night was a good read, a pretty scary horror/crime story, and while I just started on Rosemary's Baby it's been years since I saw the movie. I'll still probably release most of the translations I picked up in the BookCrossing system though.. I really do like reading the original versions best.

    Just finished the entire Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy Series (7 books)... now reading The Defense by Nabokov and The Subterrenians by Jack Kerouac when I feel like fast reading (usually as I sit on the toilet).

    One flew over the Cuckoo's nest- Ken Kesey. Great book. actually just finished it today and picked up another Kesey book, Sometimes a Great Notion. It's starting out pretty slow and it's pretty word heavy, but i think it'll be pretty good.

    now that the gunslinger series is finally finished, i'm reading thru the whole thing. i'm on wizard and glass right now.

    i usually have a few books on the go at once: my side reads right now are _twin souls a guide to finding your true spiritual partner_ by patricia joudry and _vaccines are they really safe and effective_ by neil miller

    And next on my list are: stich'n'bitch nation and i want to skim thru rosenberg's _nonviolent communication_ again and i requested Excuse Me, Your Life is Waiting by Lynn Grabhorn from the library...that one looks like a really nice uplifting motivational read.
