Denmark

[close] I have a cousin. She speaks Danish. I have no clue what she's saying, and I have WAY to much free time. So, I vowed I'd learn some Danish. It's a useful language to learn, so why not? And I know this doesn't have anything to do with books, but maybe we could recommend Danish books. SO COME, LEARN!

[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.

The more that you learn, the more places you'll go.” - Dr. Suess “There are too many books I haven’t read, too many places I haven’t seen, too many memories I haven’t kept long enough.” ― Irwin Shaw Globe Stand Photo: Daniel Loiselle/Getty Images

[close] This reading group emphasizes literature originating from Scandinavia and the Nordic countries (Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Finland and Iceland) including translations of novels, plays, epics and poetry ranging from Norse lore/ mythology to modern works of the 20th and 21st centuries.

[close] Denne gruppe er lavet til formålet at gøre det nemmere for danske forlag og forfattere at få tilføjet og rettet deres bøger på goodreads. Det vil være super fedt, hvis andre goodreads bibliotekarer har lyst til at være med :)
