Subject: [Doctorow] Slovak fan-translations of my books!

Pavol Hvizdos, a Slovak speaker, has translated three of my books into
Slovakian -- Down and Out in the Magic Kingdom and Overclocked. The
translations are Creative Commons licensed for your remixing and sharing
pleasure.

I can't tell you how awesomely cool it is to have readers spontaneously
undertake major translation projects just for the fun of it. I believe
that sharing my books under CC licenses inspires my readers to promote
them, and this is the proof that it works.
