[close] Grupo de discussão sobre quadrinhos publicados no Brasil e/ou lidos por brasileiros.

[close] A place to discover our original spiritual practices, rituals, myths and culture. For people interested in Afro diaspora religions including but not limited to Orishas/Orixas, Santeria, Haitian Vodou, Vodun, Odinani, Candomble. Lets ferret out the lost histories and separate the racist mistruths from the reality. Though this we can discover more about our stolen cultures. This is primarily a non-fiction group, but fiction can be included if it speaks to something pertinent around the subject matter. This is a space to discuss our findings and help spread knowledge. It is not a space to debate the veracity of any religion or call into question beliefs. Atheists and Theists of all kind are welcome.

[close] Reading takes you places. Where in the world will your next book take you? If you love world literature, translated works, travel writing, or exploring the world through books, you have come to the right place! ATW80 began in 2009 as a challenge on TNBBC. The separate group was established in 2011. Anyone can join and participate in the challenges or readings at any time. Challenge participation is not a requirement of joining. Anyone who loves reading books from around the world is welcome here. The main purpose of this group is to travel the world through books, experiencing new authors and cultures along the way. Want to read about the world? We have close to 50,000 books cataloged by setting and more are added each week. I personally started reading around the world in 2008. This venture has introduced me to far off lands, fresh viewpoints, and many new authors I might not have discovered otherwise. Here is a record of my travels since 2009: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/18478768-diane-s-world-travels-by-book I have worked very hard gathering resources for others to use and coming up with new activities.

The more that you learn, the more places you'll go.” - Dr. Suess “There are too many books I haven’t read, too many places I haven’t seen, too many memories I haven’t kept long enough.” ― Irwin Shaw Globe Stand Photo: Daniel Loiselle/Getty Images
