My Blog List

Merely links

Here is a blog where I post links to things I've been reading on the web. From time to time I'll also add comments. And I invite comments from anyone out there. Comment on the readings, comment on the comments, comment on my comments. Fly at it!

Grow a mind--read some books that have been translated into English

The British Booktrust has put up a web site dedicated to books translated into English. Particularly interesting is a page of “Top tens”. The lists include “10 Far east and South-East Asian novels in translation” and “10 novels in translation from the Spanish diaspora”. Shamefully, there are no lists of poetry in translation.
The site is heavily dependent on “Bloomsbury Good Reading Guide to World Fiction (Bloomsbury Good Reading Guide)” (A&C Black).
