Bibliomaniaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Oh, I’m sure there must be a God!!! No human being can create such a heavenly thing!!! No kidding! Take a look at the best site ever and you’ll see what I’m talking about. If you don’t like it, however, something’s wrong with you or you’re a philistine. Whatsoever, don’t tell me if you don’t admire “Bibliomania” … I won’t like you anymore. ;-) *chuckle*

Bibliomania is divided in 3 main parts: read, study, research!

The reading sector has thousands of e-books, poems, articles, short stories and plays all of which are absolutely free. You can read the world's greatest fiction by authors such as Dickens and Joyce, Sherlock Holmes mysteries, all Shakespeare's plays, or just dip into some short stories by writers such as Mark Twain, Anton Chekov and Edgar Allan Poe. Doesn’t that sound like heaven to you??? That’s the greatest thing ever!

I unfortunately don’t really know about the other two sections – I don’t even really care; after all, there’s this wonderful reading section – but why don’t you discover them yourself…

The studying sector has been especially designed to meet the needs of school and university students. Nevertheless, there’s also a part for teachers.

The researching sector seems to be a cool platform for anything you’re searching for. Bibliomania research is definitely an additionally and equivalent searching tool to Google and Wikipedia. It’s an omnium-gatherum of unbelievably lot of things which covers a great variety of topics with strictly selected sources.

Although this site is great as it is now already they keep adding to the library regularly and welcome book recommendations. If you register you can receive email alerts on new texts.

"A House Somewhere"

No, no, don't worry...I haven't read the whole book yet but I like it a lot and I'd like to quote a few things from the book; especially because it kind of answers to my last entry.

1) "...family is something you discover you cannot change..."

2) "...: home is not finally a thing of rocks and roof tiles, nails and wood; home, as the old saying has it, is where the hear resides. Or in other words: our House Somewhere is anywhere our own true love abides."

Okay, this is not a real entry but I had to put that on here! I like the quotes! Also because they kind of "complete" my last entry.

"On the Backside, Please!"

I accidently found this book on "insider's-english.de" , a nice link where I eventually signed up, not only because I wanted to subscribe to OWAD (One Word A Day) but also because it's full of quite funny and useful stuff that especially helps you enrich your vocabulary. You can do tests here, as well, and even order file cards, books and book semiars, trainings. But enough about this link...I actually wanted to talk about the book I ordered from insider's english.
Although this book doesn't seem to be really helpful to improve our English, mainly because it's written in English and German and because it rather targets other people other than language learners, it's hilarious. "On the Backside, Please" is mainly about typical German speaking people's mistakes (translation errors) but it also contains quizzes that you have to do while reading, a list of tricky words, Pseudo-English, Instant English plus tips how to study words best.
It's a nice and fun book that might not be as demanding as our Orange Book but learning a language should be fun too and this one for sure makes you laugh and you'll also learn a few things (even if it's "just" avoiding typical mistakes made by German speaking people ;-)
