Has anybody read the MAHABHARATHA?
I once read the Mahabharatha, one of India great stories and I invite you to look for that book and read it. You will see how magical and instructive is the book. But i'll be glad to discuss with somebody who has also read it.
Bye

Français & Español: voice chat
Bonjour! ¡Hola! Hejsan!
Dear Friends! I’m a young lad in my 30-s, optimistic and with sense of humor. If you are native FRENCH or SPANISH speakers and want to communicate live in voice chat, I’d be more than happy to make your acquaintance. In return I can offer you Russian & Swedish.
I’m looking forward to hearing from you.
Let’s talk!

Re:the alchemist
Hi Marina
If you yead The Alchemist and found it great, then you must read The Fifth Mountain and The Warrior of (the)Light of Paulo Coelho too. You will see that as the Alchemist these are wonderful books. I read the Alchemist 5 years ago for the first time and i'm never tired to re-read it on and on.
good reading and long live adventure

DID YOU READ THE MAHABHARATHA ?
Namaskaar
I'm a 24 years old girl from Africa. I'm so fond of India. Is there any native speaker of hindi with whom i can have discussions about indian literature in order to learn that beautiful language?
I have read The Mahabharatha and it's a story full of wiseness and teachings. Well it deserves the title of "The Greatest Story of Humanity".
If there's anybody who can answer i'll be thankful and be pleased to exchange with the person and help him or her or even them in French and English

Re:Learning Foreign Language with Children Picture Book
Yes! There are some wonderful books for that. We just loved Rosita y Juanito by Carmen Norma. This book is great for learning a lot of basic grammar and language skills without having to get into all of the jargon. And it's really kind of cute, too.
Personally, I already had some Spanish under my belt, so I was able to start off with the Spanish translation of Winnie de Puh. From there I went to Esperanza Renace (Esperanza Rising, by Pam Muñoz). Then I read the Spanish Translations of the Harry Potter books, which, aside from being a lot of fun, are also a great source ov very useful vocabulary.
Before I knew it I was reading translations of Shakespeare, and El Cid in the original Renaissance Spanish.

Walden, by Henry David Thoreau
Has anybody read Walden?
Thoreau argues that if you focus on what is truly meaningful in your life, whittling away all of the non-essential dross that our culture convinces us we need, but which we really don't, we can create a simple abundance in our lives. We could "live deep and suck all of the marrow out of life."
How might you do this? What would you eliminate from your life? What is essential that you are depriving yourself of at present? If you are familiar with Walden (or have the time to read it now), what do you think of Thoreau's solution? What do you think of the fact that he abandoned his experiment after two years, two months and two days? Does this mean his experiment was unsuccessful? Why or why not?
What questions does Walden raise for you?

Robin Hobb
Hey there!
Is there anyone who has read the books written by Robin Hobb? (The Farseer Trilogy, The Life Ship Traders Trilogy, The Tawny Man Trilogy, Homecoming)
If you haven't read the books yet: just do it! It's the best fantasy ever written!
I'm a huge fan of hers and can't wait untill The Soldier Son Trilogy gets published!
