#ScienceFiction

#Leughadh #Läsa

Not for me* for #Januread, but I just finished the "Witcher of Salem" heptalogy (Wolfgang Hohlbein, abridged, read by Jürgen Hoppe). #Lesen

And my favourite ones are probably the readings of #Murakami 's

#Hardboiled Wonderland und das Ende der Welt (David Nathan).

Preparing for #Januread, reading every day in January:
https://www.scottishbooktrust.com/reading-and-stories/januread

Thought of some rules:

1) Read (or read to someone) for 15min uninterrupted.

2) Since I read a lot for work: It has to be leisure reading or purely curiosity driven.

3) Since I read a lot on screens: It needs to be a physical book.

Anything to add?

A' leughadh leabhar Beurla suidhichte ann an Gretna, Alba. Chleachd an sgrìobhadair faclan "bhon chànan Ceilteach, no Gàidhlig mar a thuirt iad na làithean seo" ach 's e faclan Gàidhlig na h-Èireann a th' annta.

Tha e gam fhàgail mì-thoilichte.

Tha an ùghdair i fhèin a' fuireach an an Gretna (às Manchester). Direach... dèan nas fheàrr!

#Leughadh #Gàidhlig

Chan eil mi air leughadh anns a Gàidhlig airson grèis. Tha feum agam air faclair fhathast agus tha sin ceart gu leòr. Tha e beagan a' sàrachadh airson tha e a' toirt cho fada a crìoch a chuir air.
