Hi everyone.
I write from Africa, I'm French, 45 years old, learned English at French school, and I manage to read SK books in their original language, which is a huge pleasure. Of course, electronic reader is helpful when some slang makes its way through the text...
You will certainly read me when I find an expression that doesn't mean anything to a non native-speaker like me.(How hard it is to understand "I have a monkey on my back", for example...)
I've already read somme threads (concerning Eastern Eggs, for example : I will try to participate here, that kind of subject that shows the coherence of an imagined universe being really interesting in my opinion. And Mr King has a complete universe, in a sense...)
Well, it's late, here in Togo, so a good night to every one ! And again, I'm really happy to be here.

I'd like to thank everybody for your warm welcoming messages.
I've just finished Mr Mercedes and I could not help but beginning reading Finders Keepers. I just couldn't. But, for the moment, Hodges hasn't appeared, even if Barbara has made a "cameo", as the movie-goers would say I think. Nonetheless, the parallel stories between the boy and the criminal are just awesome. Won't let me much time to participate before the final point, but I'll do my best.
A happy day to all of you, to all of us.
