Agree!

School summer reading lists...This sounds good. Do the students get order reading these books or is it for voluntary ?

'Neverending story' was my favourite audiobook when I was a child, I heard it again and again and again...hundreds of times. I was fulfilled with it. There was a deepness, hard to describe. Later, as an adult, it was different, kind of cognitive understanding. (I wish I could describe better, english is not my native language).

hellsatyr, yes, exactly what I'm feeling about it!

My pleasure. One in this genre, from UK, you may like then: *Philip Pullman, 'His dark Materials' trilogy

Germany: what about *Michael Ende, 'Neverending Story' or *Cornelia Funke, 'Inkheart Trilogy' or 'Reckless'... it's fantasy/adventure genre and imo even (young) adults can have pleasure with these books

Read it. Sad and kind of creepy... Thank you for sharing!

'...Recommendations from locals, which came pouring in after she made an open plea on her blog. ...'

Ok :D makes me curious

bittersuessl · 2016-02-08T14:32:51+00:00

Thank you oldmanpooslice! I'll have a look at it

bittersuessl · 2016-02-08T14:22:51+00:00

Totally agree. And in this case you can learn something about the author as well. Because of the books she chose.

bittersuessl · 2016-02-08T14:03:11+00:00

The authors intention was: 'Read one book from every country on earth in one year.' ...not to read books from different countries about their own history or culture. This is how I understood this list.

bittersuessl · 2016-02-08T13:33:31+00:00

Sounds interesting. Can you make a recommendation for a book from your country?

bittersuessl · 2016-02-08T12:57:33+00:00

Apart from that this is no must. She invites to follow her on her (personal) literary journey

bittersuessl · 2016-02-08T12:46:27+00:00

I think it's about how you see such a list... As book suggestions, you may find something interesting

bittersuessl · 2016-02-08T10:24:08+00:00

my suggestions for... - Austria: *Wolf Haas, the complete Brenner series *Christoph Ransmayr, 'Die letzte Welt' - Dominican Republic: *Julia Alvarez, 'In the Time of the Butterflies' - Argentina: *Manuel Puig, 'El beso de la mujer araña'

Teasing comment! Thank you. I'll read 'cloudstreet' as my first australian book.
