Today's question on Booking Through Thursday is:
|
I saw a Latin edition of “The Hobbit” last time I was at the bookstore…
Do you read any foreign languages? Do you ENJOY reading in other
languages? |
|

Answer: I definitely enjoy reading in foreign languages and actually do most of my reading in a foreign language: English. I also read Danish and Norwegian fairly fluently and can get through Swedish and German texts with occasional help from a dictionary. Lately I have also been reading in French (which I am learning), although so far it has mostly been simplified texts. I'm currently reading a Commissaire Maigret mystery in simplified French and plan to use the summer to get through another, unedited one.

On a side note, someone directed me to an article about Halldor Laxness today. I'm curious to read something by him. What would be a good book to start with? (Ideally, I'd love to read him in his own language, but I don't see that happening soon!)
