I'm not picky, just impossible.
I would prefer a novel (good juvenile literature is fine) or a book on history, originally in Hebrew if possible. A children's Bible Story book would also be fine. The main thing is that is good Hebrew and not a lousy translation. I'm interested in אני וליאה but I'm not sure how difficult the Hebrew is. Elsenberg sounds rather rabbinic.
I teach Biblical Hebrew, so I am familiar with the various verb forms and vocalisation etc. I started off with a German language book, and am now working on the 3rd unit in Edna Amir Coffin's Lessons in Modern Hebrew II. The grammar is still mostly review for me, but working on the sentences is helping a lot.
Cheryl Simani's The Cornerstone of Deception/Even Pinat HaHoniah looks interesting, Daughters of Iraq by by Revital Shiri-Horowitz, or Masa Habubot L'Eretz-Israel by Abraham Regelson.
I have a German copy of Pinhas Sadeh's folk tales, and would love to read it in Hebrew
Todah!
Yours, Cambron
