This week the question surprised me. Its about reading in other languages.
"I saw a Latin edition of “The Hobbit” last time I was at the bookstore… Do you read any foreign languages? Do you ENJOY reading in other languages?"
I wish I could read in other languages. I did two years of German in high school and learned to read Hiragana, but I have not gotten far enough into a language to be able to read a novel in it. I really want to learn another language though, but currently don't have the time or the money to invest in learning a language. So for know its a future goal. Though picking just one language is going to be the tougher part.
Though I am going to London for the Summer and I'm considering getting the British editions of some of my favorite series. They may be the same stories, but they would be fun to have in my bookshelf!

I think it is indeed fun to own a book in different languages... especially if it's your favorite. Hopping here from BTT.

Thanks for the visit! I agree I hope to someday read my favorite book in another language, like French.

I have read a few French books, Les Jeux Sont Faits by Jean-Paul Sartre, and of course Le Petit Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupery which are both shorter books. You should read Le Petit Prince in English, it's so good!
ReplyDeleteGREAT blog!!

Thanks! I think I have read the English version of Le Petit Prince once, but I don't really remember it. I will have to go back and re-read it!
