Out of these books, which would you think would be finished first, second, or third and why? Oh, and I guess I should add that I finished re-reading seven translations of Antoine de Saint-Exupéry's The Little Prince (language drill that I love to do with one of my favorite fictions) and just now completed Joanna Russ's The Female Man (more on that later, if any are interested, that is).
P.S. Felix, I think it'll be a while before I read that Serviss story. I'm waiting for Hades to chill a bit more.

Larry, it had just occurred me that I never send you that Brazilian translation of The Little Prince. Do you still want it? Because I still didn´t send that Birthday Special package to you, my friend - there´s still time to add one more book. ;-)
In a word, yes! In two words, Hell Yeah! :P
Thanks so much, Fábio! Now of course I'll be left wondering what else you have in mind...cruelty! :P
Yes, I am very intersted in hearing your thoughts on The Female Man. To my shame, I haven't read the book yet (although it's on my shelves). And then Night's Master, of course.
