It took me quite Long.
An intricate book with a lot of interesting ideas. But I found it uncommonly hard to read.
I began "Die Erfindung der Rote Armee Fraktion durch einen manisch depressiven Teenager im Sommer 1969".
This one won some prizes in Germany, but is also quite difficult to read.

Originally posted by SuzianneI've been reading a number of L.E. Modesitt, Jr books, "The eternity artifact", 'Haze' and 'Hammer of darkness'. That last was written in 1985. Trying to figure if there was a sequel. Now starting another Modesitt, "Solar Express". He has written 60 books so far!

“As a rule, you knew it was time to eat when you could hear potatoes exploding in the oven. Happily, all this suited my father. His palate only responded to two tastes - burned and ice cream - so everything suited him so long as it was sufficiently dark and not startlingly flavorful. Theirs truly was a marriage made in heaven, for no one could burn food like my mother or eat it like my Dad.”
- Bill Bryson, The Life and Times of the Thunderbolt Kid
