oh you are not alone. but I need more of his books. I "only" have 3. and I need them in english. the coolest authours should be read in english I think... if that was their original language that is...
I have one big book, that has all his stories in it. Tis epic.
I'd love to read authors in thier original languages. I want to read Crime and Punishment in Russian, but Russian is a very hard language to learn, I've heard.
Good for you!! It's long! That's a handy one to know if ever at a dinner party or some such event and called upon for some light entertainment. Many's the time I have pulled out a Shakespearian Henry V monologue in similar circumstances. Poe is better... less cliche!
yeah, russian is hard. I am 1/4 russian and have tried to learn, but its hard... german is easier, but that is probobly because swedish and german has the same melody to it
"achtung" is a good one. it means "warning" or "look out"
"ich liebe dich" is I love you
"ich spreche nicht deutch" means I dont speak german. ;)
those are pretty good to know
dont mean a thing to me.
but "ich bin geil ich bin nicht eine kartoffel" is awsome in all its randomness too. it means "I am horny, I am not a potatoe"
Great choice for a station :) Calvin and Hobbes was always one of my favorite comic strips when it was still in the papers. I was very disappointed when it was no longer being written. I do have several of the books though :)
BTW: Here is an animated gif I found online once (I don't remember where and I don't know who made it) for you.
Lady April: Ya definately can't lose! I love Calvin and Hobbes! When I was a teen I had a cat named Clyde. He was so awesome and muh lil fuzzy boy. When I'd read the Sunday comics I always went for C&H first cause it reminded me of me n my cat =)

Oooh yes I have that Poe book too... the complete Poe or something. Best poem ever... "Dream Within A Dream"
Dream Within a Dream is very nice. I love that one!
And the Raven, of course. I've got that one memorized.

It took me quite a while, though. And it's not that hard, because it's a bit repetitive. (not in a bad, way, though)
Nevermore.

I know one word in German, "Abflug". Not a very useful thing to know, sadly.

All the German I needed to know I learned from Hogan's Heroes...

We've got a very smelly old Twice Used cat.
Newspaper comics are crap now. I need my Calvin and Hobbes.
