OK- Spanish Books. A looming topic. Are they read in a specific format, like the Japanese's right to left? Or like some other language, reading the WORDS left to right. HELP ME

In my experience books in the Spanish language are read in the same way as books in the English language with perhaps three notable exceptions:

  • They're usually mostly in Spanish.
  • The titles on the spines appear 'upside down' to English-speaking natives, although I believe many languages follow the same custom in this regard.
  • The titles don't always use upper case letters at the beginnings of principal words.

Oh,my! That picture strengthens the image that he already has. I wonder if it could've been photoshopped. - Sassette, Sep 4, 2015
Nope, it actually happened... The American people actually voted for such a dork... ;-) - Faldaesque, Sep 4, 2015
48% of people who voted in 2000 voted for him -- about 18% of the American people. - jtaniel, Sep 4, 2015
