Or more specifically, my own copies of La Ciudad de las Bestias, El Reino del Dragón de Oro, and El Bosque de los Pigmeos, which apparently constitute a set trilogy. I'm already a bit sad that there are only three books, but "trilogy" rather than "series" suggests an actual three-book story arc and not just episodic adventures, and that makes me happy.
The library book has been (graciously) relegated to the pile of books to return; someone else can now appreciate this quite good book, courtesy of the Austin library system. (Though they had at least two copies in when I checked this one out, so I probably haven't deprived anyone of the chance.) Now I can underline words I don't know, and make little notes in the margin, and take as long as I need, and--oh. Damn. Pencils. I need pencils. I cannot possibly write in a book in pen.
Quick! To the mechanical-pencil-mobile!
