The Astrid Lindgren Reading Group discussion

The "Reading Projects" folder is for any reading/translating projects that group members are doing or interested in doing. Projects can take whatever shape and form you want (except that Astrid Lindgren should obviously be a major part of the project).

Also, Daß ist ein sehr gutes idee, Gundula.
Entschulding für meine Slechte Grammatik, mein Deutsch ist genau sehr rostig, weil Ich es nicht oft mehr Spreche!

Alright, I've now finished showing off like a sad geek and just want to say this is a great idea.
I'm inspired to go find some German translations.
It would revive my knowledge of the language, it will be iteresting to see the differences between the Dutch and German book, plus it will be fun to be able to read some together!

Suna, your German is a lot better than my Dutch (I might be able to figure out a few words when reading, but that is all). Good luck finding some German translations (I know they are likely available on Amazon, but you should also check ABE books, not only are they often cheaper and have more titles available, you might be able to find some in the UK, which would make shipping much cheaper, shipping is what kills).

Thank you, I'd completely forgotten about ABE books, they are good.
But yes, I'll look around for something closer to home first!

Hello everyone,

I must apologize for not being very active right after having started this group, but life is getting in the way at the moment.

I've been reading an English version of Pippi goes Aboard, but I must admit I wasn't too keen on the style and translation. Review to follow soon...

Gundula, thank you for picking up the slack by starting so many brilliant topics!

Life will often get in the way, and I might be getting a bit busy soon as well (I wish all we had to do was read).

I wish I could get paid for reading books and posting reviews, sigh.

Should you ever work out a way... don't forget to tell me how! ;-)
That would be a perfect career...
