18.Mar.2009 Lost in Translation Challenge
1 January – 31 December 2009
Rule: read six books in translation by the end of 2009
It does sound like an easy rule :). We can read books translated from the same languages (it doesn’t have to be 6 books from 6 original languages). And I totally love the image above! Also, Lost in Translation is one of my favorite movie ;)
Go to the challenge post here, and the dedicated page for the challenge here.
