What are you reading?

Maggie O'Farrell: I am, I am, I am - seventeen brushes with death (2017)

John Lanchester: The Wall

Very interesting read. I am about two thirds in it now. It is not a standard apocalyptic novel, but displays a lot of depth in the development of the figures.

Tracy Chevalier: The Last Runaway (2013)

Author of 'Girl with a Pearl Earring'

It is a quite interesting book, written in a loop and open for a lot of philosophical discussion. If anybody is interested I am open to discuss 🙂

Now reading: Raphaela Ebelbauer: das flüssige Land

This is mots probably not (yet?) translated. It is also a quite philosophical book, the Heroine is doing a Habilitation in Physics about a strange Theory on time and is caught in a strange Land, where a the Theory is more or less showing ist consequences.

Norwegian writer Anne Holt: 1222 (2007)

Nick Harkaway: Gnomon

A very curious and interesting book. I am a bit slow in reading. It is fully stuffed with a lot of more or less obscure items of European Intellectual History (europäische Ideengeschichte, is there an English expression?)

Léo Malet: 120 Rue de la Gare (1942)

That's exactly the phrase we would use in English.

Among dozens of other things (in my scattered way), I'm reading The Rise of Universities by C. H. Haskins.

DAFOOK?

Ahhh a specialist 😉

Did you study dafook?

I read now Andreas Eschbach: Der Herr aller Dinge, a real nice scifi about nanotechnology

"Custer Died for Your Sins: An Indian Manifesto"
Vine Deloria, Jr. (1969)

Alex Michaelides: The Silent Patient (2019)

The Widow Next Door by L.A. Detwiler

Just started it and if the first 30 pages are any indication I may not get past page 31.

😲 😛

@Great-Big-Stees

Did you possibly try 'A Gentleman in Moscow' that I mentioned earlier? If not, may I insist you get it at earliest opportunity?
