My old ID was Ishtar and if you check the wiki entry you would know why I changed it


Smita ji, I have to check the Wiki entry... but before that, can you please start using Firefox. (The codes get messed up with chrome!) ⭐️

And, of course we can add more books, if you write a short one-line description about why we should read them! 😛

😆😆😆 @ Ishtar.
I used Veritas (the logo/avatar) in my law forum by the way...that's why I asked.
I agree about The Tipping Point as well. Has anyone read the new book by Gladwell as yet (What the Dog Saw)?

Really I wonder why I never read it, it's quite famous it seems. I love it I was addicted last night even though I had a headache I kept reading😆!!

Btw is Three Cups of Tea by Greg Mortenson?

If so here is a pdf download link to that:

This is why you'll be the reading group favourite in no time! ⭐️

@Frau Blot: Bowing wouldn't be necessary... I doubt her skills at times, so it'd be reasonable to not expect any better from anyone else! 😛

I don't think that it has anything to do with how the Portuguese write...
Paulo's writing is surreal even for Portuguese speakers. I have it on good authority now... My wife-to-be speaks Spanish (practically like her mother tongue), and has a good grasp of written Portuguese; and she just confirmed the surrealism of the writing style to me once again... (If you'd like to, you should confirm this with someone else who read the book in the original!)
The English translation has preserved the manner of writing, though my source is too uninspired to read both the manuscripts again for a detailed review... 😛

And that is an interesting story, Smita ji! This video contributes nothing for the discussion, but I was reminded of it after reading your story. (The Germans take elocution lessons on learning how to pronounce "TH"...) check out this video clip:

I agree...I think even if a text is translated into English, it will most definitely lose certain aspects/value held linguistically only in the original language (case in point: The Holy Bible).

Although, in Paulo's case, I think it is intentional--which is why he can express so much by saying so little. All the while maintaining the complexity of an array of topics/emotions which he expresses in a sequence of natural regressions (ie. returning to a premative state of mind--like Plato's tabula rasa) IMO., thus explaining the awkwardness.

Also...all this talk about surrealism--I absolutely LOVE Salvador Dali (fav. surrealist painter)❤️.

☺️
I know I picked it on random from a book and it did sound like a star in Hindi.
The wiki entry was a surprise.
