[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.

[close] En gruppe for læsere af dansk litteratur, eller bare danske læsere af verdenslitteratur. Kan du dansk eller interesserer dig for Danmark er du velkommen. Dine indlæg behøver dog ikke at være på dansk, du er velkommen til at skrive på engelsk. Du kan også finde os på Facebook! Bemærk Moderatorerne vil sende masse-mails ud til gruppens medlemmer én gang om måneden. Dette er en påmindelse til vores månedlige fælleslæsnig. Der udover vil vi kun benytte os af denne meddelelsesmetode når der er vigtige meddelelser eller nyheder i gruppen. For dem der ikke ønsker at modtage disse mails er det vigtigt at bemærke, at vi desværre ikke har den tekniske mulighed for at fritage enkelte medlemmer til ikke at modtage mails.
