[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. Please ask permission before copying and please give appropriate credit. The copycatting is getting ridiculous and tiresome. "The more that you read, the more things you will know. 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] The name of the book is the “THE INTRODUCTION TO THE PYRAMID LIGHT BODY”. This masterpiece is filled with 270 pages of language code, with over 100 images illustrating in mathematical detail the true order of the universe. This book is unlocking the story of creation, in ways never been demonstrated before. This ancient system of education using mathematics and language is known as the teachings of the Ankh. A must have to add your collection. A testimony of a divine walk…

[close] Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it. - George Santayana - This reading group will explore the realm of world history ranging from the cradle of civilization around 10,000 BCE to the present. It will focus on books covering specific time periods, places, people, games, food, geography, literature, navigation, warfare, art, architecture, science, poetry, drama, epics, trade, languages, mythology, archaeology, religion and much more. The works will be selected by active members through monthly polls. Hopefully this journey will be enriching and strongly inspired by the muse of history.
