Hi, Alexander!  Recently you wrote in a message to Paul Quinn:

 AK>  As we say in Russia, I am listening to
       |i.e. listening to what Paul is saying?

 AK>  and wind it on my whisker. ;-)
       |"winding" would make a better parallelism here.


           Like a man twirling his handlebar moustache?  Cute....  :-)



 AK>  I hope I will have some more questions,
 AK>  reading that book.


           As do I!  IMHO you ask interesting questions, and if it weren't for
people like you I'd be talking to myself & enjoying the echo a lot less.  :-))



 AK>  I read it because a paper book is much better for
 AK>  language learning than the e-version of a book. I

           I often did that as a university student, when I was reading French
novels & had to buy my own textbooks.  IMHO the bit you cited here is on a par
with some of the flowery descriptions where I made a lot of notes too....  :-)
