Many of the books I read, I had to read them in French, English, or Italian, because they hadn't been translated into Spanish.

I must confess, my Spanish is not so good - except I read a little, so I started with the English but then determined that it would have to be in Spanish.

Read Don Quixote; it is a very good book; I still read it frequently.

Not exactly what the world was looking for, a musical on 'Don Quixote.' It was required reading in high school.

I've always loved Spanish. I love my father's Spanish records.

One of my favorite poets, Neruda, writes close to the bone. Though I know only a little Spanish, I like to compare the Spanish and English lines and see how the translator worked.

I grew up Spanish, so I grew up watching a lot of novellas.
