As can be deduced from my two recent posts, I have begun reading The Hobbit in Portuguese and am attempting to fix the language in my mind by blogging about various things. The post "Os Hobbits" is a rough translation of the front blurb of the paperback copy of the book published in 1973.

"As Runas" are notes taken from the explanation of language and runes in the beginning of O Hobbit ou Lá e de Volta Outra Vez © 1991.

For easy enjoyment (for a given value of "easy" that means it's in my native language), these past two weeks I have read two novels from Michelle Sagara's "Chronicles of Elantra" (aka the "Cast in" series): Cast in Wisdom and Cast in Conflict. (I hope to get a personal copy of the latter for Christmas but am not holding my breath).

I am beginning to re-read Cast in Honor because I find that one to be the most philosophically dense of the series to date.

I have also read The House on Trad Street by Karen White - a paranormal mystery/romance that is very enjoyable and a promising start to a series. I have put holds on the next two books of the series with the local library.

I gave up on O relógio na parede (The Clock in the Wall) by John Bellairs because I read it last year and I got bored with re-reading it.
