    The british covers are too eye-catching/striking for me...

    Good evening everyone !

    I've read approximatively 10 books up to now (English & Dutch). I'm Translation/Interpretation so I have to read books for school, but I also do it for my pleasure.

    At this moment, I'm reading "Dead until dark" and it's really easy, so if there are people willing to read in English but who fear there won't be able to understand, this may be a good start :)
    (Of course you'd better like bit-lit)

    If you have any suggestions of good books to read in English, let me know !

    I think I might have read about 7-8 books in English by now. But I hope I will overbeat this score !
    Today, I bought The Inimitable Jeeves by P.G. Wodehouse and the other day, Wolf Hall by Hilary Mantel. I'm sure I will enjoy both of them but ... I don't think I will have enough time before the GREAT holidays. Let's see then ...

    I think I should have read about 20 books in English.

    The last one was "The old man & the sea" by Hemingway buuut I couldn't manage to end it. Too bad.

    I honestly don't know. But I'm cheating because I studied English, and I'm now an English teacher. :)

    i've read only the 4 twilights in english but i have dead until dark in english too (i didn't read it yet!)^^
    what about you? You ask others but don't tell us about yoursel :p


    Oh I'd love to read the twilight saga in English, I guess it's more appropriate than reading it in french, I dislike the bad translation :/
    What do you think?

    Thirty-one and beyond as far as I'm concerned :P


    Wow! Awesome! I'd like to start reading in English this summer and I have some books which seam interesting. Do you have any advice for me? Any specific book? Thanks a lot :)

    I tried The picture of Dorian Gray but the grammar is too complex for me.. I can read and understand quite well but it takes me YEARS to finish a book =)


    Well, I strongly believe that practice makes you perfect right? I should give that advice to myself first, I'm just about to start :D
