Decided to buy some more Star Trek SCE books to fill out my collection.
So, reading Star Trek SCE: Foundations.

Oh Bob, I read Oliver Twist a few weeks ago and I loved it!
I'm trying to get accustomed to Dickens's work, so I started in French, with David Copperfield, than moved to Oliver Twist (so far loving the ambiance and giggling over the morals) but after that, I tackled Great Expectations in English...arrgghhh! The anguish! My vocabulary is not nearly sufficient to read it! I never had to read so slowly in all my life, and the pace itself is pretty slow... I open it once in a while, with a dictionary on my knees, but I don't know if I'll ever finish it.
I'm also reading The Rainbow, by D.H. Lawrence (in it's French translation), and so far I'm liking it, but I'm not carried away by it.
After that, Pratchett's work awaits...I've got a nice summer in front of me!
