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
