Last night, I finished reading "The Haunted Air".
This is my favorite one now. You know, I read RJ book in English. It was my first experience.And it was time-consuming reading. Almost 2 months and half. To me that was like a long journey. But it was fantastic and exciting journey.
I have to say thanks to two guys.
"Thank you Bluesman Mike. You sent this book to me." Not only this one, he sent a lot of books to me.
"Thank you F. Paul Wilson. You are always writing excellent books for us."
Now let me say about this book.....well, a lot of unique characters appeared in this book. Kenton Brothers. As I said, they are now my favorite characters.
Madame Pomerol and Foster, they made me laugh. They were always saying "F**K", and Jack was always listening to their conversation by bug.
Circle's members, Eli Bellitto, Adrian Minkin, and Strauss. They are disgusting. So I laughed at Adrian's scream, "Aah! Aah! Aah!". Am I cruel? :p And another one funny scene(line) was They stretched it out next to Bellitto and rolled up in it like a burrito. This is nice!
Next book is GATEWAYS!

Damn, Kenji! :eek: That is impressive - reading a whole book in English. I can't even imagine that. And don't worry, it has taken me two-and-a-half months to read a book before (many times) in English, and it is my native language. :p
The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents. ... The piecing together of dissociated knowledge will open up such terrifying vistas of reality, and of our frightful position therein, that we shall either go mad from the revelation or flee from the light into the peace and safety of a new dark age.

My pleasure, buddy. And I think you'll find the more you read in English, the easier it will become. At least that's the way it was with me when I studied Arabic to read THE NECRONOMICON in the original words of the Mad Arab. :eek:

Thank you, Jimbo. Say, might you be interested in a used copy of THE NECRONOMICON? Only slightly charred from when I shrieked and tried to burn it...

You know, Jimbo, that explains a =lot= about the tenor of your posts. :p But hey--interested in a lecture tour? I'll be your agent, and I forsee handsome coin for both of us. Let's see...we could start at the Arkham College graduation ceremony in June, move on to a talk before the Ladies' Club at Innsmouth, from there to the Dunwich Civic League...

You? Two-and-a-half months? Nah! I think you can read it in two days.
Because I couldn't stop reading this book. If it was Japanese edition, I can read it in a few days.

All righty, Kenji--what's the 47, 283rd word in the book? (What? If I ask a question like that, I should know the answer myself? Oh, man...that's no fun...
)

47,283rd word....? Ouch! Don't bully me, Bluesman. :eek:
Well.........hmm, I give up! Okay, now I'm counting the words. But when I reached ten thousand words count, my hair will be white...
