"Hi I am from Australia and I read the books in English but here you can only get the books second hand unless you buy the first hand copes in another country and get them imported which costs heaps."

Thats interesting I would think they would be popular there

(Btw: I love your national Anthem)

I guess I am the only one from Bangladesh in this forum so far.

Ekaterinburg, Russia.

I dislike the Russian translations of AC - they sound rather forced and don't have that athmosphere. Unfortunately, the stupid Russian publishers who publish classic authors in original English like publishing the same famous novels (like "the Orient Express") over and over. Fortunately, I got my hands on some English editions as well. But there are still AC titles I haven't read yet.

I'm from Britain (suprisingly the first Brit who still lives here to write on here seeing as AC was British.)

Oh everyone else, if you can all speak English, how would people who cant stiil come on here and talk about AC.

I am in Canada.

AnneBeddingfield on 31 Jan 2009 at 11:45 a.m. GMT

I'm from Mauritius (probably the only one).

I know it's boring but...England. I have been to Churston though. Does that redeem me?

biscotte on 11 Feb 2009 at 6:21 p.m. GMT

I am from Canada.

I love these books because it gives such a different picture than what we get from here or the US.

I know the stories were written a long time ago, but still, i truly enjoy the English point of view and the English way of life. I love reading about caracters having a "proper english garden" and the way they always have tea! These things are probably not popular anymore, but i find it so interesting to read what Miss Maple finds proper or not!

When specific places are mentionned, i often google a map from England to look it up!

United States of America. I'm a boring mutt. Just a, no not yankee, I'm southern *lol*

susandiane on 15 Feb 2009 at 1:36 p.m. GMT

I'm finding it fascinating reading the news coming out of England about facebook (the man who announced his divorce on there and claiming she cheated BEFORE telling his wife! And the horrible murder that another man committed because his estranged wife changed her "marital status" on the site) I can't help but think AC would be mortified by the airing of dirty laundry for all to see. How she kept her "disappearance" so private. She wouldn't be able to TODAY! Now, I am NOT insulting the Brits! Gosh knows, we Americans are WAAAY to loose and public with our private lives :) Again, I can't help but think QE2 was on to something after Diana died. I'm getting that info from Helen Mirren in "The Queen" (great movie btw)

I am from Ireland but moved to London a few months ago.

I am from Japan. I read AC books only in Japanese as English ones are not available here.But I would like to read AC books in English　some day bacause it would be a lot of fun . Actually I am using this site not just to have fun but also to practice my English ability.

susandiane on 24 Feb 2009 at 12:02 p.m. GMT

mirror, have you tried to buy some of her books from amazon.com? is it even available in japan? (if my son were home, i'd ask him, my little kaiju nut, he's a; well, i don't know the word, there are ANGLOPHILES, all things british you know, what do you call someone addicted to japan and japanese culture?) i don't personally like to buy on-line, but lots of people do and seem to get good service from amazon. one day i WILL try it.

HarleyBarley on 25 Feb 2009 at 2:59 a.m. GMT

susandiane, Just to add, it is Japanophile. That simple (Grazie, Vale, for showing what the word was). The interrupter, HarleyBarley
