Books are the quietest and most constant of friends; they are the most accessible and wisest of counselors, and the most patient of teachers.

    The Ancient One says

    - Once a person has gained an understanding of the expanded realm of the heart, they are free to move on to the next stages of spiritual consciousness. Inspiration starts to flow. Inner knowing comes to the fore. Intuition is your daily guide and helper as the wisdom of your soul comes forth to help you succeed at all your efforts in life. With soul communion comes the blissful joy of spiritual consciousness. With that blissful joy comes inner peace and the lifting away of all the cares of the world. This is reality. This is the state that God always intended for you to discover so that you can live and love in the light of soul consciousness and become a fully-empowered spiritual being. Your birthright is love, light, and the laughter that springs from spiritual joy.

    Oh, sorry about that, I think I read it a little too fast. Yes, I am interested in Australia. Although, I am interesting in Austria as well. Sorry again :)

    Hi..I was wondering if you could tell me a little bit about your country, Australia. I was hoping to visit there sometime in my life.

    Thanks, Justine

    Hallo!
    Ich hab gesehen, dass du in Wien lebst. Bin ganz neu hier und dachte mir, es fehlt noch eine Gruppe mit Wiener Shelfari-Usern. Habe also eine gegründet, die ist aber noch ganz "leer". vielleicht magst du dich ja dazugesellen? Oder eineR deiner FreundInnen. Ich fände es schön, wenn wir eine kleine Gruppe österreichischer/Wiener Shelfari-User würden, um über deutsche (und andere) Bücher zu diskutieren, sich auszutauschen etc.
    Hier ist der Link:

    Welcome to 1001 books. You can keep track of the books you have read from the book, 1001 Books You Must Read Before You Die here and join in the discussions on the books we are reading for the month (from the book) or you can argue the merits of the list as some enjoy doing.

    ah, verstehe. das mit den afrikanischen sprachen klingt jedenfalls spannend (aber auch nicht grad leicht).
    ich drück dir die daumen, dass du dann möglichst oft die gelegenheit bekommst auch dort in ostafrika zu sein ;-)
    ich weiß nicht ob djibouti noch/schon zu ostafrika zählt - aber da war ich mal und das war toll dort.
    lieber gruß,

    gerne :)

    ich schätze, du liest die bücher im original, oder? ich finde, bei t.c.boyle lohnt sich das besonders.

    warst du schon viel in afrikanischen ländern, wenn du diese sprachen übersetzt?

    lg mhh

    hallo julia,
    wenn dir drop city gefallen hat und du afrikanische sprachen übersetzt, dann guck doch mal in t.c.boyles 'wassermusik' rein.
    das buch ist eigentlich noch besser als drop city - naja, und zum großen teil spielt es in afrika.
    aber vielleicht kennst du es eh schon...
