@Karina-Kara , @cjko
Here is the translation:
"Remember the Scorpion-Human, who dwells inside the mountains. He was created a long time ago from TIAMAT, to fight against the elder gods, for him it was allowed to stay with them under the mountains. He deceived us once and he may do it again. But call him, if something involves the outside, which you would like to know more and what i didn't tell you about. And his sign is easy and that is:
♏
And direct yourself only to his place, and he will come and speak, but do not do it by dawn, since when the sun raises, the Scorpion won't have power, and not before the dusk until nightfall, as he will be forced underground, as this is his letter of his contract, which pertains him; and it is written: His pate shall not raise above the sun.
And again: His is the dark time.
Yet again: He knows the gate, yet not The gate."-End of the first page-
The next page:
"And the Scorpion-Human has another from his race, female, which lives with him there, but talking about her is not right, and she must be spellbound with the Exorcism, shall she appear, as her touch brings death."

@cjko said in What is the last book you read and enjoyed?:
@DayShifter WOW.. interesting. Any chunks of quotes from that book ? :)
So begins the first letter that falls into Wang’s lap as he flips down the visor in his taxi.
The letters that follow are filled with the stories of Wang’s previous lives—from escaping a marriage to a spirit bride, to being a slave on the run from Genghis Khan, to living as a fisherman during the Opium Wars, and being a teenager on the Red Guard during the cultural revolution—bound to his mysterious “soulmate,” spanning one thousand years of betrayal and intrigue.As the letters continue to appear seemingly out of thin air, Wang becomes convinced that someone is watching him—someone who claims to have known him for over one thousand years. And with each letter, Wang feels the watcher growing closer and closer…
