No.
If I get rid of them - quite possible: I need the space - they'll go on
Ebay, to Hay-on-Wye or to some local charity shop.

Unless you'd care to make an offer for them?

 

I'm sure you're fishing here, but possibly because
a) he can
b) he wants to improve his reading
c) he could get a copy in French and not in English.

 

.... it's got better since you two had your tiff?

When did you last speak to Cab?

Probably. But why buy another copy of a book in a different language
if you are capable of reading in the language you already have a copy
in?

 

Fair point.

'cos 'it loses something in the translation' ?

I'm completely fluent in both languages, but given the choice, if the
book/film is in English, I'll watch/read it in English. Translations
are never, IME, close enough to the original.[/QUOTE]

I've heard that said (and in fact Cab mentioned this as well), but I'm a
thicky who can only read one language, so wouldn't know.

Anyway, McCaffrey's stuff all seems to be based on dragons ffs.
