Let's see, I quit the dutch first book of Wheel of Time and have ordered the English one, having read the intro in English in pdf I can say it was a great decision. Man, what difference of tone. Dutch really is a shit language for anything, it doesn't help that most translations are Netherlands-dutch too, which is an even sissier-sounding dutch than the general Flemish which is already pretty hard to take seriously for people from my region with our "peasant" dialect. To give you an idea, I can simply not be intimidated by someone who speaks dutch and it's not my dialect, it sounds ridiculous and funny, like a child :p. Sorry dutch readers but hey we get laughed at by the rest a bunch too! It's all good.
Rudolf Steiner is really pissing me off, he's literally trying to put me to sleep - I'm at a chapter about death and sleep. And when he used the word exhausting my eyes literally closed. He tried to convince me animals have no memory, I'm guessing he didn't have pets... Are you kidding me? I'm trying to forgive him and considering he meant time-binding in general. Being so old the books feel well, dated. Not giving up on them yet though. Hope I can get something out of them.
Robert Graves is also boring me to tears with his mythology, all the first ones he shares are origin myths, I thought I'd find these fascinating yet they are apparently symbolic about tribes conquering eachother or shifting from matriarchy to patriarchy which is not why I'm reading about mythology... I want some mystical symbolism dammit! I could care less about these tribes talking shit about eachother.
I started Robert Heinlein's Stranger in a Strange Land and it's pretty good, really like Heinlein's writing style and I'm seeing myself read another one of his after that one too.
My Musical Theory for Dummies is going pretty well, limiting myself to two lessons a day so I retain it well. And still trucking on with my Japanese.

My order of books is arriving on monday, it's gonna be really hard to restrain myself to not read any before I go on holiday but seeing what I have on my plate already I hope I can manage.

I finally settled on: Eye of the World (Wheel of time 1) by Robert Jordan. Small Gods and Guards! Guards! by Terry Pratchett. Read and write Japanese Scripts: Teach Yourself by Helen Gilhooly to get hiragana and katakana firmly implanted, it starts on kanji too which can help (if you want a laugh check out the kanji symbols Japanese use for "noisy" and "woman" :p). Illusions: the Adventures of a Reluctant Messiah by Richard Bach. The Divine Invasion by Philip K. Dick.

Decided all the fiction I'm gonna read will be English from now on, can get the non-fiction books from the library, unfortunately our libraries have a VERY small selection of English books.
