Re:Favourite English (Audio) Books
I've been listening to the auidio CD's of Isaac Asimov's I, Robot. The reader is just a tad nerdy, but the stories are excellent!
I also read the Harry Potter books often, both in English and in Spanish. I haven't tried them in German yet.

Re:Re:Re:bookworm/bücherwurm
Hey, it's me, Sinead!
I just needed to tell you that if you're going to reply you need to click on my title 'Any George Orwell fans out there?' and click on reply. Because if I hadn't clicked 'Bookworms' message board I wouldn't have found your note!
Hope to hear from you!

Re:Re:Re:bookworm/bücherwurm
Hey Lissa!
'1984' is a wierd book but it's also true isn't it? Like the parts where Orwell describes how the cameras are everywhere, 'Big Brother is watching you!' That's happening now. There are all these security cameras all over the place. We've even got one on the end of our road on a tall black pole. Hey, have you ever read 'coming up for air' or 'Down and out in London and Paris'? Brilliant books, very capivating! Orwell was a very clever man.
I really love 'A tale of two cities' by Dickens and 'IT' and also 'Everything's Eventual' by Stephen King, and 'Mort' by Terry Pratchett. They're so good because they make you feel so strongly for their characters. Unlike most of the trash that's put on the shelves today with their 2-D 'characters'!
I'm very happy to have finally met someone who shares my appreciation of books. I hope we can keep in contact.
Bye!
Sinead

Re:bookworm/bücherwurm
I love to read; it is fantastic! Books are like passports to other countries, worlds and times, whisking you away from the monotany of the real world and taking you to better places and people! I think we'd all be lost if we didn't have books to read.
My dream is to become an author if I can't be teacher and write contreversial original novels that will make people think: like Orwells' "1984", a fantastic book! Do you like it?
Write back

Re:to Ina--yes, I do
Hi Luba,
I am sooo interested in Hebrew!!
I speak German and Hindi/Urdu and a little bit of Spanish.
We could practice Deutsch if you'd like.

Luganda Language Material
Hello,
I am currently learning Luganda but all my course material is quite old already. Therefore I was wondering if anybody has any tips of where I could get hold of some books, e.g. childrens' books to practise. I have already raided stocks at Amason. Thank you for your help!
Susanne.
