Denim ♡ | 52 comments nah, my people can do many things. Writing epic novels, I believe, isn't one of those things!

I think for the UK Agatha Christie and Enid Blyton are much more famous than "Harry Potter". As anybody who was born before 1990.

Andrushka (andreinbookland) | 11 comments The Prophet, Khalil Gebran


message 14: by Sapphir (new)

Sapphir | 4 comments For Germany, "Der Steppenwolf" by Hermann Hesse comes to mind, or maybe something by Goethe ("Faust"?)? Recently, Cornelia Funke's books have been quite popular, too, I guess.


message 15: by Christine (new)

Christine Mathieu | 948 comments I'm from Germany, but I've never heard from Cornelia Funke. Don't you think that Guenter Grass and Siegfried Lenz are much more famous?
