Re: So many languages, so little time. IronMike's 2018 language log
Signed up for the Super Challenge for a full Esperanto. Unfortunately, I have no books with me as we're still living out of suitcases. Gonna find something I want to read online used so we'll see. And with the May Esperanto Sumoo starting soon, I need something!

SO tired of those "classics." Thanks though! I decided to order 100 Years of Solitude by Gabriel Garcia Marquez. Loved his Love in the Time of Cholera. Hoping this one is as good.

As soon as the universe gets you deeply involved in reading something else..

But there's no sense crying over every mistake. You just keep on trying till you run out of cake.

So true. Just opened one of my E-o ebooks I had downloaded and unread. I am sure 100 jaroj da soleco will arrive today now.

Updates!
Middle Egyptian: DD and I signed up for the GlyphStudy which'll begin at the end of the month. If you haven't seen the threads: they're a group of students and moderator who go through a book learning Middle Egyptian. Takes about two years, so let's see if I keep up with it. I worked through Allen's book years ago, but really needed someone else to talk about the lessons, so this'll be nice having a moderator who already reads the language. I love that era of history, and have studied, in general, the history of Ancient Egypt and the history of the language (hoping for a section on Hieratic and Demotic in the future), so really looking forward to this class.
Esperanto: My Gabriel Garcia Marquez book hasn't arrived yet, but I got two issues of Beletra Almanako today, so will start reading these. Already read 3 or 4 pages of a linguistics article in Esperanto, so will add those to my first 50 for the SC.
Spanish: My favorite word, so far, in Duolingo: un rato. No, it doesn't mean a rat. It means for a while. Yo leo un rato. When I first saw this sentence, I thought I am reading a rat? WTF?

Oh well. Last day of the USPS mail delivery week, and still no Esperanto book delivered. I'll start the 52-a Esperanto Sumoo tomorrow with a copy of Beletra Almanako. Sigh...

Darn the snail mail!
Have you selected your number of pages for the 52-a Esperanto Sumoo? I'm doing 5 in La faraono. I read the antaŭparolo this morning as a warm-up for chapter 1 tomorrow. It looks good. I hope you find something satisfying! Thanks for turning me on to the Sumoo!

La libroj alvenis finfine! Sed mi jam komencis legi "Maigret hezitas" kaj al mi tre placxas la rakonto.
