Hi Hercules and any member who wants to join us.
The three fiction books I have for you to choose from is 1. The Seven Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle by Stuart Turton
2. Big Summer by Jennifer Weiner
3. Ask Again, Yes by Mary Beth Keane
The non fiction is the 7 habits of highly effective people.
Once you pick out the book you want to read with me I will start reading right away as I have just finished Little Women but don't worry I will pace myself and give you some time to catch up once you order the book.

Yes, since you asked. I will start another book for now as I am sure 6 weeks is a long time to go without reading. Thanks for making your selection so fast. I look forward to reading Big Summer as I have already gotten to Chapter 2 but will wait now until you get your copy. Can you post on this thread when you have received it?

Hey you can add me hear. I have started to read books again. What a great escape. I just read a book called Ghosts. I can’t remember the author’s name. I am reading another book. I just started it. It’s called This much I know is true by Walley Lamb. So far it’s mesmerizing. Hard to put it down. When I get home from work I have dinner then practice guitar for 2 hours and then read for a half hour before I go to bed. I have always loved reading. It’s so pleasurable and educational.

Terrific news
Glad you joined
We agree on one book to read together then discuss it after we all finish
We each take a turn suggesting 3 books and the other people pick one that all will read
The first book is big summer
The reading will start after we all manage to send away for it

Hi,guys
Reading books is a good hobby and I would like to join the book Club and we could try translating some books into Chinese.
Hi, fleurette, Hercules do you agree with me?

How many books have you finished reading. Could you make a list that you have finished reading?

At first, we might try translating some essays, and then we try translating some books, if it is possible.

Ok course you can join Walter
The first book is big summer by Jennifer Weiner perhaps if you start by googling to see if you can find a Chinese translation version?
In terms of previous books we have read they included
Stones by the river
Around the world in 80 days
Oryx and crake
Made you up
Can’t remember the authors names

Thank you Hercules for your reply. You care about the books. But it is difficult for a foreigner to understand the background of the story and Author. It really takes times for a foreigner to understand a book. Always, a foreigner have to read a book several times to fully understand it. I heard of a Chinese writer and translater married a British woman and the couple translate some books from English to Chinese and vice versa.
