Lord of the Flies: New Educational Edition | William Golding

I know I‘m a bit late, but I wanted to finish #myicelandicweek first. But today is Tuesday.
@Buechersuechtling Thanks a lot for tagging me.

1. Most of the books I read are translated. Actually there aren‘t many German authors I like to read.

2. I do read most books in English, some in Italian. When I lived in Italy I bought the Italian translations of English books (e.g. Terry Pratchett) to improve my Italian. ðŸ™ˆ

Kammbia1 Go, Went, Gone by German author Jenny Erpenbeck. It was one of my favorite reads of 2019. 5y

MariaW @Kammbia1 Never heard of that, went straight obto my reading list. 5y

Kammbia1 @MariaW Glad you added it to your reading list. Here's my review: https://marion-hill.com/wisdom-from-kammbia-book-review-23-go-went-gone-by-jenny... 5y

Steinarnir tala | Þórbergur Þórðarson

I adore the sun in Iceland - like Thórbergur Thordarson did. It is always so bright, even if the weather is not that good. #myicelandicweek #iceland #thorbergurthordarson #thordarson #icelandiclit

Iceland's Bell | Halldor Laxness

The Halldor Laxness museum in the outskirts of Reykjavík. No wonder he was able to write novels, short stories and plays - with that view!!! #halldorlaxness #laxness #iceland #myicelandicweek #icelandiclit
