14:24, 28. mars 2011 Diskusjon: Hvilken bok/bøker har du lest om igjen mest?
Jeg er skikkelig dårlig på å lese bøker om igjen, føler på en måte at det er så mange bøker jeg vil lese at jeg ikke har tid. Men akkurat nå leser jeg Ender's Game igjen, bare fordi jeg ville tilbake til verdenen. Harry Potter serien, og bøker av Klaus Hagerup har blitt lest om igjen også.
Leser så og si bare på engelsk. Ellers er det jo norsk. Svensk og dansk tror jeg at jeg hadde klart, men jeg har ikke prøvd ennå. Kanskje tysk også, men det hadde i alle fall gått sakte!
