Randomness ensues

Every now and again a books cover catches your eye and you just have to read it.  I know this is not how it's supposed to be, don't judge a book by it's cover and all that.  Still you know we all do it.  It does happen that you see a book and it looks so intriguing that you just have to know what is inside.  I myself have found some very good books this way. But I find that there is nothing quite so frustrating as having this happen and then you can't read said book.

I happened upon a cover that caught my eye and I had to know what it was about so I looked it up.  Except that it was in German.  Ok, no problem, I'll just see if there is an English copy.  Nope.  Italian, French and German, that's all I could find.  I do not speak, let alone read, any of these languages.  So here I sit, sad and frustrated by a book beyond my reach.  I suppose I shall just have to continue trying to find and English copy.  That or resort to learning to read German.
