Meanwhile, in Dobrzyn, Hili has specific reading choices:
Hili: Are you looking for a detective novel on the shelf?
A: You guessed it.
Hili: Take the one I haven’t read yet.
In Polish:
Hili: Szukasz jakiegoś kryminału na półce?
Ja: Zgadłaś.
Hili: Weź taki, którego ja jeszcze nie czytałam.
Thank you Matthew!
To Poland’s southern neighbours Hili’s question sounds as an inquiry about sex with a criminal.
Very believable conversation, given Hili’s posture.
Hili, always approach a new book with trepidation – “A book not worth reading twice isn’t worth reading once”.
