Ridiculous question, but how did you pronounce Kavalier in your head when you were reading it? I've got it sat on my shelf and am itching to read it, but I can't bring myself to start it until I know whether it's meant to be Kavalier like 'cavalier', or Kavalier like 'Chevalier'. I feel it'll have an impact on the character either way, and it's been bugging me for ages!
Um, well, didn't think about it deeply, but the characters are from central Europe, so I just read it with the Germanic pronunciation. Also assumed the title was to be read alliteratively. Don't let it put you off starting the book, it's brilliant!
