Merle, Then you're made of stern stuff. "Stern" is "star" in German. I read Kandinsky first in Spanish on a L-O-N-G bus trip in Chile, where bus travel is taken very seriously, and all the buses are made in Italy or Germany. The book was bus-company property. Nice illustrations. Never found a copy in the States like it. Printed in Spain, I think. I had to leave it on the bus. When I read it in English, I could not get through it. If I try it again with better results, I'll let you know. I'll look for it next time I search here for ISLAND. I've noted here before that Dover has a nice edition of Kandinsky: I read my sweetum's copy before she lit out. I was dubious about your getting all the way through with it because he seemed to miss a lot of good opportunities to be succinct. When I had to work at it, in Spanish, I took it as a challenge. In English, it bored me. I thought it would bore you, too, and you would bog-down as I did. That's why I questioned. Nothing personal to you, but to the author (or translator??). --Joe > Merle Lester <merlewiitpom@...> wrote: > > i did read it...why are you questioning me?..joe
