Thank you to everyone who has done audio or video or brought reports to my attention. I really appreciate it; we're getting caught up.

If you must share this story...RT @yvessmith ...Warren Makes Promising Start in Senate Banking Committee Hearing... http://t.co/Z1p8urZm

Trans.: Cher Chopinet. Me: Dear little Chopin? That's silly, isn't it? Dom: Use Dear Chopinet. It's like Dear little Chopin, but sillier.

I have never made much use of a thesaurus before, but if I am going to try my hand at translation, I think I'll need to start using one...

Also, thanks to Rhynn (one of the interviewers) for providing the new audio, and thanks to Marie Curie for transcribing it.

We made some additions to the 2003 Budapest Q&A starting at #23: http://t.co/BPAnTDIb Thanks to @sleepinghour for tracking down the audio.

I have been working on database stuff since about 4am. Probably time to quit, eh? Tomorrow, new additions to the Budapest Q&A. @Theoryland

I might have a recently-unearthed (and retranslated from Hungarian) RJ interview later today. Some very good stuff in that one.

PS—I am going to start talking about AMOL now. Maybe not too blatantly, but if you are worried about spoilers you might want to unfollow me.

Anyone have any idea what "dero" might mean, in a German letter written by a Bohemian living in Poland in 1826? (Context: maybe "your"?)

Just entered the 900th @Theoryland interview database page: a detailed SLC signing report from @dragonmount: http://t.co/mnfRKSzk

I'm learning that Google Translate is not too bad with modern Polish. I can at least make sense of it. 19th Century Polish, different story.

Forvo is a wonderful thing. There is a bored Polish dude in Italy who pronounced my requested words before I had time to check my profile.

TGH line edits: http://t.co/ok4kl2H5 Weird that RJ added whole paragraphs in longhand.

European history is so confusing. Reading Norman Davies' history of Poland, and spending entirely too much time on Wikipedia in the process.

I threw a few of them in this thread: http://t.co/zTA2gDJN When I do my reread, I'll add the ones I've forgotten already. @BrandSanderson

Yet another Amazon review that'll likely end up being judged as muy unhelpful: http://t.co/wiShH4tk "You Belong To Me" by Mary Higgins Clark

Page 69, and I'm SURE I know who the killer is. Dear god, she really beats you over the head with her clues, doesn't she? I miss RJ.

And jeez, what a difference a few years can make. Hate the writing, and on page 65, I'm pretty sure I know who the killer is. We will see.

I'm worried about the Chopin book, though. Tried to buy it from Abe a while back, but it got cancelled because the seller sold it elsewhere.

Specific suggestions/warnings for Peter F. Hamilton, Stephen Donaldson, Tad Williams & Isaac Asimov? (Some of you have already given them.)

Suggestions for a good epic scifi? I've tried reading classics up to Heinlein but can't handle the mustiness. Something modern and finished?

I need a Malazan reread, but I think I need to take a break from fantasy (and non-fiction) for a little while. Been mostly non-fic lately.
