Around the World in 80 Books discussion

I'll have to do this again, and see how far I get this year. My experience so far is that the first 10 languages are easy, and then it starts to get difficult. One thing I've learned from doing this challenge is how incredibly dominant the Franch and English languages are on the book market! On the other hand, 25 languages should be perfectly doable with a little focus.

#1 Icelandic: Soga Om Gisle Sursson

Excuse me, but what are we supposed to do? Translate titles? Or suggest books for reading?

The idea is to read books translated from different languages. The rules are found here: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

Aha! Thankyou =). That sounds fun. Well, it's like I normally read, I love to read books from all over the world. Since I'm Swedish I wonder how I will do when it comes to English and Swedish books? I sometimes read in English but more often they are translated into Swedish. And Swedish books are not translated to me but I think they will count here?

I'm Norwegian, and I always prefer reading in the original when I can. The rule I follow is that as long as the book has been translated to another language, it counts, including Norwegian books

Ok, tack så mycket =)

By the way - I notice now that this might be your personal topic page for the books you've read and not as I first thought the official challenge page. I can delete my posts here If you prefer that.
