Thanks for that info Tom. It's interesting and somewhat grueling of all the time and energy wasted. Now I know, actually, I never gave it a thought they didn't exist...
As far as European novels go, it wouldn't make any difference since I don't read them anyway. Hardly ever do I read a book, I read everything on my kindle. I just collect the books. The ones mentioned are the last that I need. The last book I read was 'Hombre' by Elmore Leonard, another favorite writer of mine.
I'll probably start looking for foreign issue.
What country would you reccomend, the closet to English.
Again, thank you....
