I didn't paste it but I had it corrected at lang8 :)
I'm absolutely not grossed out talking about this in any language. It would just feel too much like promoting, whereas when I'm posting in Spanish I'm also practising my target language :)

Oh my God... Alucinando me dejas con el texto... Verdad es que curioso es un rato, más bien parece un anuncio que un ensayo. No obstante te felicito por el uso de la lengua, está bastante bien.

Sorry, I misread you about being grossed out. Still, I don't see why it would feel less like advertising if it's written in Spanish. We do commercials too, you know :)

I just ordered it in Spanish. I probably won't have time to start it until after the 6WC, though. =(

It's a really nice book. I actually wanted to reread it, but I didn't have it in any of the super challenge languages so I bought it in Portuguese:) ages ago it was the first book I read in Finnish, because it's popular and there's an audiobook (and a great one!!!)
I kinda like how it goes in waves - only some parts have you reading non-stop till you're too sleepy. Other parts are just normal, especially when you've read the book previously.
I have the Spanish audiobook for it btw:)

Oddly enough, I can't listen to audiobooks in Spanish anymore. My mind wanders. I'd rather just read the book. :-)

As far as I am concerned you can do whatever you want, be it legal or not. If a little light-hearted comment bothers you so much, I'm even sorrier than I am baffled, and you can rest assured it won't happen again :(
