[close] "Whenever you read a good book, somewhere in the world a door opens to allow in more light." -Vera Nazarin- Welcome to So Many Books So Little Time (SMBSLT) You can express your feelings on a certain book and meet others who feel the same way. While you read vast amounts of books your imagination is not only thriving off them you're also picking up knowledge and expanding your vocabulary. Anyone can join, anyone can invite, anyone can create polls, and anyone can add a new discussion :) To check out the polls rules click here. Click here to view the general rules for this group. "It’s not just the books under fire now that worry me. It is the books that will never be written. The books that will never be read." –Judy Blume-

[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
