text: Where is Nick’s blog? Just bought a dual-language edition of Maupassant’s short stories. Working on getting that French back….
  – it is highly time consuming and I am, let’s face it, too lazy for it and prefer to allocate my free time to reading (and other activities)
  – I don’t possess the necessary literary and analytic skills, let alone the culture, to produce a blog of quality as yours are (Asylum, Futile and Perchorin).
  So yes, I am just a parasite feeding on your great work. And I thank you for that, and taking the time to answer my stupid comments.
  However, I’ll make sure to let you know what I thought of the books you are commenting once I’ve read them, which, in the particular case of No tomorrow, won’t be soon since it will be delivered at my home, while I’m ‘stuck’ in Macedonia for the next four months.
  I’ve got to admit that reading your blogs of course made me think of hosting my own but I have yet to start taking notes on the books I’m reading. Which makes me wonder: do you take notes while reading or come back to a book a while after, or a combination of these two methods?
