"The Three Languages"? What is that? I'm sorry I have no idea what that is!

The Three Languages is a short story included in the fairy tales of the brothers Grimm. A short excerpt of it, with the location scribbled out and one word changed, can be found in the book Lemony Snicket's Unauthorized Autobiography.

I think it would be quiet interesting to visit his tower but as far as living there i wouldn't be able to do that unless it was cleaned up first but the whole thing about all the eyes around the house wouldn't bother me one bit

The tower was described in a few words..only that it has bottles in it (the ones that reminded Violet of Molotov bombs). I think there are lots of secrets in that tower that can solve the whole VFD mystery.

drugqueen - I agree. There was that bit where they wanted to look through the papers in the first book but had no time, because they were being dragged away to the play. It always seems as if the answers are literally right in front of them, but time and Olaf always ruin the Baudelaires' chances of finding them.

The funny thing is, they were shut up in that tower room for hours, and did, in fact, read through Olaf's papers. Handler's said he had to change his plans for the twelfth book because of that - there was something they were meant to find there, but of course they'd already read through all Olaf's stuff in TBB and found nothing.

It's a bit frustrating that everytime the Bauds get close to finding out about V.F.D something or someone gets in the way but I guess the author makes up for it in the last books. (haven't read the last six books yet)

Be sure to keep us updated on your progress, veryfrightfuldude. I've almost forgotten what it was like to be reading the books.

Make sure you read them in order. Handler puts recaps at the beginning of each the books, but you'll get much more out of it and it'll make a lot more sense if you read them in the correct sequence.

Yeah, someone I went to school with once mentioned reading TVV first. I don't know how that works, but the twist on the series formula wouldn't be nearly so effective.
Referring back to my last-but-one post, would it really have been that big a problem for the Baudelaires to suddenly discover a secret drawer if they press an eye that looks like a V.F.D. insignia?

Good news is I've got a new gig and I'll buy and read TCC, TSS, TGG and TPP soon, so I'll be able to discuss them here (I HAVE read THH though, from the college library, so I can skip on buying it, priority goes to books I haven't read yet) with you guys.^^
:Edit:
Hi everyone, I'd just like to say I'm guaranteed on buying THH, TCC, TSS, and TGG in november.In december, I'll buy TPP and TE so I'll be able to discuss and contribute here in a more deep fashion.^^
:2nd Edit:
Just got my mother to buy me THH, TCC and TSS.I'll pay her back in December, at which time I'll also buy TGG, TPP, and TE.
