If Anna Karenina was not to your taste, perhaps you would prefer this book:

Slightly off-topic: Tolstoy was an interesting cat, from what I've read. He professed to have a deep and profound love for "humanity", but couldn't be bothered to like individual people.

Think of your Spanish example and how it doesn't always back translate correctly and misses the meaning that is being conveyed in the original language.
I am impressed speechless with this picture. And consider the double translation, say Russian to English to Spanish or Arabic!

¿I also wondered at your OS? As I recall Vista was ranked at the bottom by most of the 'experts'.

BPD, yes, very much so. Thanks for sharing. I am liking AK a lot more, directly attributable to my late start reading it and this thread.

Don't be too impressed, it was solely a survival skill and one I am still not too great at. My first love was XP then when it was not able to be _saved_, I had to move to Vista. Not my favorite, but still running well and strong, so I'll live with it until it dies.
