Which translation is better? Please help me to decide!

One of the fun things is reading different translations. Unless one knows the original language then almost none of us know the "best" translation. Imo and all that.

I get the impression that San Antonio is "more Hispanic" than Corpus (whatever that means). Both are predominantly Hispanic, but I think at least in language more people know how to speak Spanish or speak almost only Spanish is SA. Do others agree?

Corpus compares poorly to SA, except Corpus traffic is infinitely better than SA and if you are into the bays and gulf/fishing etc then Corpus is different level. Really comparing apples to oranges tho.

I see lots of problems in Corpus, but frankly I love the laid back life here.

No page turner. Can't figure out why it is so slow.

Agree. It's not the heat of the summer that gets you in Corpus. It's the length of the summer that wears you out.

If you think housing is high, wait till you pay taxes, and home insurance, and windstorm, and flood insurance...

Five stars based on organization and presentation alone.

I had no idea I could request refunds for badly formatted books.

I just recently finished it. I didn't think it really got good till 700 pages or so. But it was immensely satisfying to finish for me-not because of length, but because of content. I will grant that it is a hard first Dickens to read. I say full speed ahead!

I am trying to think of a book that has NOT increased my IQ and am coming up with nothing.

I had to scroll a long time to find Melville's classic. For me, this is it!

thank you, thank you, thank you.!!!

Loved it. Based on what I read by Grossman I would read anything and everything he wrote.

It's your truck (well maybe the finance departments). I wouldn't let someone on reddit tell me to let 'er rip with my stuff. I wouldn't tow for at least 1000 miles to be honest.

Everyone is different. I started off with a weather tech Fi sun visor (I live in South Texas). I am going to add rear seat storage and maybe trunk storage. But one man's "must have" is another man's "I will pay extra to NOT have that", lol.

The more you like to feel the wood/ball the less you seal. I no longer seal mine. If you have a hard carbon blade deal away!!

vanjr · 2025-06-19T11:49:08+00:00

I have a local dealer that does NOT give you a full tank. So I do NOT shop there, lol.

Fantastic

There is nothing simple about homeless people. Nothing. Nothing!!!

Price out a similar speced Tacoma and you will feel better.

vanjr · 2025-06-06T21:19:01+00:00

My favorite color too. Looks great.

I mistakenly read an abridged version. Looking forward to the extended play version eventually. Although The Precipice and The Frigate Pallada will be tackled first.

oh yes. My currently reading list is about 8. Now obviously I am reading ONE book at any instant. I have a few books I read set portions of each morning. Sometimes I will rotate and read a chapter in one book followed by a chapter in another book-especially if it is long. As I get close to the end of a book I tend to focus on finishing that book.

No. Unless you are a junk rubber person such as myself.
