    Books for English Learners

    'The curious incident of the dog in the night-time' by Mark Haddon. Very easy and short read. You could also try the 'Search inside' feature at www.amazon.com to read some excerpts. Have a look here for an excerpt of Mark Haddon's book.

    Rammstein

    I would translate "Reise Reise" to Travel, Travel or something along the lines.. I think it's interesting that Rammstein are actually more popular abroad than here in Germany. I heard someone say, that they are probably too German for Germany. Awesome live show, though. I saw them live...

    Victor Hugo

    Exactly. I wanted to order an edition at amazon.de and had troubles to find a complete version, because most are heavily abridged.:( Actually, I listened to the audio book of "Les Misérables" some months ago and it just wasn't the same as "The hunchback of Notre-Dame" to me, because it was...

    Victor Hugo

    Was your edition abridged or not? I'm just wondering because the German version is 1600 pages long.. I loved "The hunchback of Notre-Dame", although it could be a bit difficult at times, but that might just be me. At that time I was just starting reading "difficult" books.. :rolleyes:

    It wouldn't work this way, because you can't edit your posts anymore after 15 minutes.

    Let's talk retirement

    There are no fees for universities yet, and my student loan has great conditions. Half of the money is free, the other half is to be repaid 5 years after I finished university with no interest. Besides, I'll only have to pay to a maximum of 10 000€. :) It's a loan for students, whose parents...

    Let's talk retirement

    Oh yes, i'm saving a lot of money, too, but will have to spend it next year in order to get a student loan. They won't give it to me if I have saved too much money. :( So I won't be able to start saving for retirement until I finished studying...

    Currently Reading

    Snow Crash by Neal Stephenson: I didn't like it at first when I stumbled over the word "Deliverator", which in its German translation (Auslieferator) sounds so incredibly stupid... but it's growing on me. I'm half way through now and want to know how the story proceeds.

    New Mods??? Any word????

    I was asking myself that question, too. Moderators are, unlike the Senior moderators, restricted to a few forums, aren't they? I would be good to know, where mehastings is in charge. Anyway: Congratulations, mehastings! :)
