I am and so on. Reading seems to be a much more complex activity than one would think at first, doesn't it!Librarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05704656564078750607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1949425054295660529.post-43617659978450216452012-05-12T14:27:02.483+02:002012-05-12T14:27:02.483+02:00Yes, I just saw your book review, what a coinciden...Yes, I just saw your book review, what a coincidence!Librarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05704656564078750607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1949425054295660529.post-2316034908897544052012-05-12T11:39:09.206+02:002012-05-12T11:39:09.206+02:00Hello Meike:

Rather as you, we find it exceedingly difficult to concentrate on reading in a public place, such as on a train or in an aeroplane, as we always find ourselves distracted by what is going on all around. And the language makes absolutely no difference. We wish it were otherwise.Jane and Lance Hattatthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16831890261259302647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1949425054295660529.post-78781888202373152502012-05-12T09:54:09.853+02:002012-05-12T09:54:09.853+02:00When I saw the title of your post scroll by on my ...When I saw the title of your post scroll by on my Dashboard list, I had to come and investigate, because I've just finished another book in which Kipling's classic plays an important role: The Tiger's Wife by Tea Obreht. And I was just thinking, maybe I should reread the Djungle Book, which I haven't read since far back in my youth.DawnTreaderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04533307672147117843noreply@blogger.com
