Escargot Posted May 11, 2009 Posted May 11, 2009 Hi everyone, I'm a 22y-old Student (in about 1000years I'll be a teacher for mentally disabled children). I looooove reading books, I do it on my way to University, on my way home, in my bed, ... etc. Well, my English isn't the best, but I have a three big Dictionaries and leo.org I'm a big Fan of Stephen King (especially "The dark Tower" I+VII + the Graphic Novels). But I also read a lot Children's and Teen's books, e.g. I love Roald Dahl's book I read English & German books. Actually I'm reading a German book ("Rubonrot"), just came out here a few months ago. I think it'll take some time until you can read in UK. But it's about a 16year-old girl who finds out that she's a trime-taveler. Quote

Scarlette Posted May 11, 2009 Posted May 11, 2009 Hello! I don't really know any German - I don't speak it anyway - but I think my first language (Afrikaans) is quite the same as German, so I'll say Welkom! Quote
BookJumper Posted May 12, 2009 Posted May 12, 2009 Hello and welcome. If you're German and like children's books, have you ever read (possibly as an actual child, I'm more or less your age and they were being written when I was little) Angela Sommer-Bodenbur's "Der Kleine Vampir" (for the rest of you out there, "The Little Vampire")? It's sixteen books in all (two series of eight books each) following the unlikely friendship between a child vampire and a normal kid. Do recommend! Quote

Hi BookJumper, no, I've never read these books - but I saw some parts of the stories on TV. They made a children's programm of it. It's a real nice story. maybe I should try the books, too Quote

It's a real nice story. maybe I should try the books, too I remember watching those as a child, they were on English television as well, really faithful adaptations too (the vampire even looked like the vampire in the drawings from the series) so if you liked the television series (as opposed to the horrific hollywood remake which Americanised everything), you'll love the books .
