icarusAre there any Spanish speakers on my friendslist?
Well, if you're there, how would you like to read Call of the Wild in Spanish?
The translation:
Rumania, año Doce
El anciano emergió de la estación ferroviaria mirando alrededor aturdido, sólo deteniéndose cuando un coche negro, pequeño y abollado, casi le pasa por encima. Llevaba bermudas y tirantes floreados, y calcetines deportivos hasta la rodilla debajo de las botas de montaña. Se había colocado un gorro marrón sobre los cabellos plateados que caían sobre su espalda, de modo similar a la barba que le colgaba por delante. Tenía el aspecto de ir a presentarse a un concurso de cantos tiroleses para octogenarios. En sus manos sostenía un bastón nudoso y una gran maleta púrpura, que parecía bastante ligera a juzgar por cómo la apartó del camino del veloz Trabant.

No, I can't read a word of it. But it's supposed to be some quality work there. *waves cheerily* Hope you enjoy it.
ETA: Yes, some of my stuff has been translated, but into Thai and Chinese, not Spanish.

It's set in Romania and describes what happened to Remus Lupin for the 12 years after the death of James (and apparently Peter) and the incarceration of Sirius, and his return to Hogwarts. It's sort of a gothic novel, and manages to be dark (in a gothic way), dramatic, and funny.

I'll start reading, anyway.
