La Shaun, I started a little Spanglish book club here on italki. We're reading El Alqumista or the The Alquemist together and discussing it. It was originally written in Portuguese but it's a great book to use because the language is simple and millions have read it around the world so it's a good book to know about generally. Today is the first day of our discussion. Would you like to join us?
