There are not too many disadvantages to having english as your preferred language to read in. In fact it’s never occurred to me before that it is a disadvantage, but the moons have aligned and I’m sitting here with my mouth hanging open trying to digest this new development.

You see, despite the Millennium Series having been published and released and readily available for some time in French, the english versions are lagging behind. I’ve spent the last 3 nights reading ’till the earliest hours in the morning Vol. 1 & 2, I just closed the last page, which ends in a cliffhanger, I’ve done a frantic search on Amazon’s around the world and I’m rope able. It appears that the english version of Vol 3. The Girl who kicked the hornets nest will not be published before Jan 2010!

How can that be? Swedish to French versus Swedish to English???

I might have to read it in French… may as well. By the time the english translation comes out I will have forgotten the details of the first two books and will have to read them again anyway…
