jeez, dunno bout these grown ups !!

"I challenge you to read them all"

buhui ba [no way]. Well that was my initial reaction. I would very rarely read something more than once...life's too short and so many other things to read. Must say though, that if I got my hands on a digital copy of it in Chinese I'd be tempted and it is such a charming story. Spanish and Italian would be tempting too 'cos the familiarity with the story helps.

"as in Russia has "The bomb" (nuclear weapons). The ultimate in power available"

yeah, that was more the vibe I had from it, but didn't know for sure. Do you know what " ta ta" means?

Yet another great post mate :)
