Hiho there, everyone!
First of all: I can't believe I never found this webpage before. Really, shame on me, I needed this ten years ago!
Okay, where was I...? Oh, yeah! Hiho there, everyone!
My name is Tom, though I usually go under the pseudonym of Zortegus. I'm a 21 years old guy who lives in a coastal town in Argentina, a devotee fan of Mr. Handler and particularly, of course, of A series of unfortunate events. My mother bought me "A Bad Beginning" when I was twelve (and that was, more or less, ten years ago) and I bought "The Reptile Room" that Summer; anyway, they were very very very rare books, I just found one of each volume (the ones I bought), and sadly I never found the rest of them until I was fifteen, when I bought "The Vile Village" and "The Hostile Hospital". Yes, I bought and read them right away, though I didn't read the books in between. I discovered then that the rest of the books were never translated to Spanish, neither the last books. I'm still wondering why somebody would do such a treacherous thing.
Finally this year, having a good job and a credit card, I found the complete wreck (in english) on eBay, and didn't hesitate on buying it. On December 23th (the best Christmas gift ever) the package got home and I finished reading "The End" yesterday. I can't still believe that, after ten long, unnerving and sad years, I finally finished them!
The love for Mr. Snicket's wonderful writing style is not the only reason I bought them. I'm a Literature student and I'm starting to write my thesis/research project using "A Series of Unfortunate Events" as the main theme. I suppose I don't need to tell you why.
I'm really, really happy to see this place actually exists, and that there's still people posting. You guys definitely made my day.
Hope to be around for a long, long time!
PS: Please don't tell Josephine Anwhistle if you see some grammar mistake on my messages! My english would be better, some day.
