How about the Diary of Anne Frank. You might find that book interesting and it has been translated in various languages around the world as well as in English.

Micaylah G - I have set up your thread. It is called 50 Books but you can read any number you want. You can even challenge yourself to 1 book or 5 books or 20 books or more - there is no limit or minimum.

I believe that I have set up everybody who has requested a thread. Folks do not be shy - there is no minimum or maximum - any number from 1 to 50 or more than 50 - it is your challenge and your goals. We just call it 50 Books. Post here if you would like a thread or PM me. If I missed you - it was not intentional - just post again.

Thank you, Bentley, for setting that up. :)

Roberto - the books that are selected are up to you for this challenge. We are reading Landslide by Jonathan Darman as a group read and that has been fabulous so far and we are also currently reading the Raj Quartet which is like the English version of War and Peace. We just finished a buddy read - Last Call. And we are going to begin soon the second book of the Liberation Trilogy which I would highly recommend - so there are a lot of great group reads coming up but the challenge would be your choices. Do you want me to set you up with a thread?

Count me in for the 50 Books in 2015 challenge. I have no idea if I can even get close to 50, but we'll see!

Thanks!"

Don't worry - just do whatever you can, 1. 5. 10, or 50 or more. It doesn't matter.

Everybody who has posted their request on this thread has been set up - I have a few from PMs and I am working on those next.

As soon as I set you up here unless you asked me a question, I delete your post and only when I have added the personal note to you which includes the link to your thread is your old post removed.

After I do that I delete your note so that I can make sure that I have maintained my place in terms of new requests and set ups. I am caught up here and sorry for the delay.

Scroll through this thread and you will find your note and link - bookmark your link to your thread for easy access.
