 a popular, literary American fiction. I do find myself being disappointed more often than not with those. I think the most recent one was a three-for-one volume of Jean Eschenot, which includes both I'm Gone and Piano. And Piano is one of my favorite books because it takes such an unlikely subject and unlikely turn and it plays it out perfectly. I think popular authors who write a simple language, obviously, if it's simple language, it's easier to translate. But surprisingly, I think authors who are very challenging, who play a lot with languages, often gain in translation as well because it permits the translator to add something of their own to the text. I'd love to be able to read more by some Chinese authors like Jia Pinghua, which fortunately I believe more are coming out, or Dag Solstead, the Norwegian author, who I could perhaps make my way through the Norwegian but I would much prefer if they were available in a language that I could more easily read. I do think stress in any form, whether it's just personal or larger geopolitical stress, does seem to make for more interesting literature. It's fairly easy, I get so immersed in a book. I truly, I'm one of these people who lose themselves in a book, so that's relatively easy. More drawn to corporate law, I was never for the theatrics of the trial law. I'm actually a detail-oriented, text-oriented person, so actually going through documents, going through contracts, that suited me quite well. Relatively rarely immediately, sometimes I've read a book and I'll leave a period of time, often years before I find myself able to review it or interested enough in reviewing it. I do think second readings always show you different things about books, but I have to admit I'm an impatient person. I want to get on with the next, I want to move on to a new book.
