This is a place to read "Effi Briest" (by Theodor Fontane) together and to discuss it. Please post unrelated things in the other Multilingual Lounge threads or your personal language-learning log. To learn more about HTLAL's book clubs, read this thread.
You want to participate? Here's how:
1. Get the book, either in the original German or in a language of your choice. You can probably find it in a local book store, you can definitely find it in an online book store and there's even a free text online.
2. Start reading.
3. Post a lot, preferably in German. Tell us what you just read, what you expect to happen next, how you like the book so far, what words or sentences you have trouble with, what method (if any) you are using to go through the book, or anything else you want to share.
4. Try to finish the book within a month. The group will start reading the book on February 5th 2009.
5. Prepare for the next book. Next month, we are planning to read "Der Vorleser" (The Reader) by Bernhard Schlink. This is a modern bestseller that has recently been made into a movie. The text is not legally available online. You can have your local bookstore order it or you can buy it online. Be sure to do so in time.
Enjoy!

Danke für diesen Thread, ich finde die Idee wirklich toll und werde mir den zweiten Roman kaufen, da ich leider zu spät werde begonnen haben (nachdem ich das Buch bestelle und es zwei Wochen später bei mir ankommt).
Ich bin auch froh, dass du einen ähnlichen Thread für Französisch eröffnet hast. Jetzt, dass ich mich zu diesen Threads verpflichtet habe, wird es hoffentlich schwieriger werden mich auszureden, an einem eigenen Buch nicht dranzubleiben...

Du könntest das Buch online lesen, solange es noch nicht geliefert wurde, oder du fängst später an. Diese Threads bleiben ja weiter offen für Diskussionen, und ich denke nicht, dass es alle schaffen, das Buch in einem Monat zu lesen. Aber ich habe relativ viel Zeit und werde versuchen, alle drei Bücher in diesem Monat zu lesen.
