Journal Entry 4 by wingChaosHamburgwing at Hamburg - City, Hamburg Germany on Friday, January 17, 2020
Mein Laufwerk erkennt die CD nicht. Ich habe nur 1 Laufwerk und andere CDs werden sofort erkannt.

Wie soll ich mit der CD verfahren? Trotzdem weiterschicken?

2. CD funktioniert.
Hab schon mal reingehört. Nachdem ich seit 10 Jahren ca. die deutsche Fassung höre, kommen mir diese Stimmen natürlich etwas seltsam vor. Frank gefällt mir, Helen (Heleiiiin?!, nicht Hell'n?) klingt arg zickig und schroff …
Aber ich gewöhne mich bestimmt bald.
Danke, ich schicke gleich mal weiter!

Five days later …
Ooops, I have to write in english. Thanks to deepl.com I'm able to: I have gotten used to the voices by now. And I can't stop smiling especially at Helen's jokes. Since I've heard the audio book a million times in German, I can even understand them ;)

I'm at chapter 12 now. I doubt that I will write here again. I just love the audio book. No matter what language.

Arrived - thanks!
Werde ich wohl bald hören - im Auto läuft noch 'Die andere Seite des Himmels'

Journal Entry 6 by wingSamingowing at Tornesch, Schleswig-Holstein Germany on Monday, February 10, 2020
Marvellous, brilliant, funny... I liked it very much. I am happy I had the chance to listen to Juliet Stevenson and John Nettles. Much better than reading by myself could have been.
Audiobook is now waiting for the next address. Thanks again for the ring. I enjoyed it!

Journal Entry 7 by Hadija at Solingen, Nordrhein-Westfalen Germany on Sunday, February 16, 2020
The audiobook already arrived yesterday, thanks!
How time flies!
I think, I don´t fall asleep while listening. Probably I´ll soon ask for
the next adress.

arrived!

Journal Entry 9 by Schneefee at Hagen, Nordrhein-Westfalen Germany on Tuesday, June 2, 2020
I already knew - and liked - the German book, but having it read to me in the original language was even better!

Takes a little detour to BuchLiebe

Journal Entry 11 by hesse-maus at Langen, Hessen Germany on Saturday, June 6, 2020

Die CD ist gut bei mir angekommen.
Ich freue mich aufs Hören

Journal Entry 15 by wingLesenmachtfrohwing at Nürnberg, Bayern Germany on Monday, June 27, 2022
I have read years ag here ist the comment
What a lovely little book, I couldn't stop reading. I hope Miss Hanff could travel to England finally. But what a selection of books she was asking for. I only read Pride and Prejudice and Tristram Shandy is still waiting to be read since I bought it in the seventies when I visited Laurence Sterne's home with a student group.

Now enjoyed listening to the Audiobook. I think I could realize all the hints to the events that happened through the years, like the coronation of the Queen and the election of Churchill better than before. Still I heaven't read "The Life and Opinions of Tristram Shandy", but I could listen to an audiobook of the novel.
Danke für den Ring und fürs Schicken.

Viel Freude beim Hören
Das Hörbuch reist mit einem Ringbuch weiter zu Wasserkaefer

Journal Entry 17 by wingWasserkaeferwing at Zehlendorf, Berlin Germany on Saturday, July 16, 2022
Gleich zwei Ringe (ein Buch und dieses Audio-Book) in einem Umschlag. Ich freu mich sehr. Vielen Dank! Ich habe erst kürzlich 84 Charing Cross Road zum zweiten Mal in Deutsch gelesen, deshalb bin ich so sehr gespannt auf dieses Hörbuch im Original.

Journal Entry 18 by wingWasserkaeferwing at Zehlendorf, Berlin Germany on Sunday, July 31, 2022
Oh yes, I also enjoyed listening to this delightful collection of letters. It's not only a correspondence about books giving such a wonderful insight into the lives of ordinary people in post war times, but also about real friendship. So beautiful, so touching.


Danke für den Ring. Die nächste Adresse ist angefragt.

12.08.22
Adresse erneut angefragt.

Die CD geht auf die Reise zur nächsten Ringteilnehmerin. Viel Freude beim Hören!

Journal Entry 20 by wingGoldoniwing at Regensburg, Bayern Germany on Saturday, September 3, 2022
Gestern Abend aus der Packstation geholt. Vielen Dank fürs Schicken!
Die CD wird sofort angehört.

Journal Entry 21 by wingGoldoniwing at Regensburg, Bayern Germany on Sunday, October 16, 2022
I read the book a couple of years ago, and now the audio book! Marvellous! I enjoyed it so much. For example Helene Hanffs humor: "I hope MADAME doesn't mean over there what it does here?" Also very amusing: The contrast between Helenes emotional letters and Franks consistently polite and formal replies. And also between Helenes American slang and Franks perfect English.
The unequal friendship lasts for about twenty years, up to Franks death.
Helene also loves used, old books, as I do. Very likeable.

The audio book may now continue its jouney. Farewell, Helene and Frank!
