[close] Reading takes you places. Where in the world will your next book take you? If you love world literature, translated works, travel writing, or exploring the world through books, you have come to the right place! ATW80 began in 2009 as a challenge on TNBBC. The separate group was established in 2011. Anyone can join and participate in the challenges or readings at any time. Challenge participation is not a requirement of joining. Anyone who loves reading books from around the world is welcome here. The main purpose of this group is to travel the world through books, experiencing new authors and cultures along the way. Want to read about the world? We have close to 50,000 books cataloged by setting and more are added each week. I personally started reading around the world in 2008. This venture has introduced me to far off lands, fresh viewpoints, and many new authors I might not have discovered otherwise. Here is a record of my travels since 2009: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/18478768-diane-s-world-travels-by-book I have worked very hard gathering resources for others to use and coming up with new activities.

The more that you learn, the more places you'll go.” - Dr. Suess “There are too many books I haven’t read, too many places I haven’t seen, too many memories I haven’t kept long enough.” ― Irwin Shaw Globe Stand Photo: Daniel Loiselle/Getty Images

[close] THE ERUDARIA SOCIETY BOOK CLUB 📚✨ An Assembly of Minds. A Culture of Wisdom. A Legacy of Knowledge. Welcome to The Erudaria Society, a distinguished community of founders, entrepreneurs, business leaders, professionals, innovators, and lifelong learners united by a shared devotion to the transformative power of books. We believe that a book is more than a collection of words. It is a doorway to unfamiliar worlds, a mirror to the human experience, and a seed capable of growing into wisdom, character, and profound understanding. Our society exists to cultivate intellectual curiosity, encourage meaningful conversations, challenge perspectives, and inspire personal growth through the art and discipline of reading. Here, we do not merely read to complete pages. We read to expand our minds, refine our thoughts, deepen our understanding, and become better contributors to the world around us. Through engaging discussions, thoughtful literary exploration, shared insights, and a commitment to continuous learning, The Erudaria Society seeks to build a culture where knowledge is pursued, wisdom is practiced, and every member has the opportunity to grow. Whether you are an avid reader, an aspiring intellectual, a lover of literature, or someone beginning the journey of lifelong learning, you have a place among us. Our Vision: To nurture a generation of enlightened minds whose knowledge, wisdom, and ideas leave a meaningful imprint on society. Our Creed: Read deeply. Think freely. Learn continuously. Live wisely. Welcome to The Erudaria Society, where every page opens a possibility, every conversation sparks illumination, and every mind carries the potential to shape a greater tomorrow.
