I scare easily. There was however a short story I read in college (mid-1960's) that is still vivid in my mind today. It was called THE BAMBOO TRAP and I don't know the author. I would like to find it again to see if it would still give me nightmares.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-57166953240040768.post-72498409992808297342015-11-01T12:47:20.806-05:002015-11-01T12:47:20.806-05:00I don't like creepy books.

With several years of Latin under my belt, our move to Paris left me feeling like a true dummy. However, as I started learning the language, mostly by rote, but also via classes, it became natural and the words flowed.
