Well, you were really lucky that you only got the poems and not that book :) Brecht is hard as well, but I salute you for teaching your prof something! I actually did the same with my teacher, and that was defiance :) We were talking about Rhetorics and he brings out Goebbels! I was flabbergasted and I couldn't believe what I was hearing. From then on, I just stuck to always contradicting everything he said and he thanked me with great grades *shakes head at stupid teachers* I actually love speaking, both in German and English, even if I have no idea what I'm talking about ;) And I am trying to learn Slovene again at the moment, having studied Croatian and Slovene for a couple of semesters at uni... But I really understand how you feel about German, I have the same reservations when it comes to Slovene. And yes, the utmost respect for multilingual people.

Oh, I really like that! Yes, the scope and the dials, don't forget the dials on his bow that let him select the arrowheads :) And steampunk Iron Man would be marvelous! Yes to all of this!

And I am really looking forward to seeing that collection :D
