Hello Annaisabella, and welcome!
You are the first BT member from Indonesia, as far as I know.
I love hearing input from different personalities and different parts of the world. You said you switched from Spanish to English so that you could read-- this shows quite a commitment to reading! Were you brought up in Spanish then, and did you learn English as a second or foreign language?
You mention Hermann Hesse: I read
Der Steppenwolf several times as a college student and I loved it. This is actually one of the very few novels in German that I finished, I had a hard time with the others I tried, and in those days I didn't want to read translations. Anyway this book was really special to me, and I guess I'd have to read it again to find out why. There are so many reasons why one could identify with the narrator.
I think people who have other people around them willing to discuss books must be very lucky. Even the people I know who read aren't really interested in discussing what they read in depth; I think one of the main reasons is that the usual conversation topics are considered to be much more important.
And yes, you can post about the books you read on Booktalk.
And of course do join us in discussing our current books.
I look forward to hearing from you on our forums.
Ophelia.
