Literatur-Blog für alle, die keine Angst vor heftigen Mischungen haben. Paul Auster, Margaret Atwood, Virginia Woolf treffen auf Simone de Beauvoir, Star Trek, Philosophie, Science und mehr
I know - I know. Another combined day, it looks as if I'm getting lazy. But! But! I really had a reason for combining it. It really is both. We did read it at school (ok in German but still) and it is one of my absolute favourite colour cover books. Promise. If you don't... Continue Reading →
Jaaa das Buch ist in aller Munde und es gibt einen ziemlichen Hype darum, ist mir aber alles ganz und gar egal, denn es ist richtig richtig gut und eines meiner absoluten Lieblinge 2014. Ich hätte das nicht geglaubt, Kurzgeschichten haben es ohnehin immer schwieriger bei mir und wenn unisono alle jubeln, dann bin ich... Continue Reading →
Gesehen: Nur ein Film diese Woche, war zuviel unterwegs, aber dafür ein grandioser: "25th Hour" - kann den Film nur empfehlen und was für eine Besetzung! Gehört: Meinen "Best of 2014" Sampler - Bestellungen werden ab jetzt entgegengenommen 😉 Gelesen: Diesen eher ernüchternden Artikel in der Zeit zur Klima-Konferenz in Lima, diesen Blog zu den täglichen Ritualen berühmter...

My delayed flight home from Hamburg hindered me to send yesterday's posting on time there two days in one today. The book of poems I chose is the one by Emily Dickinson who's poetry I adore. She was an American Poet from Massachusetts who lived a very introverted and isolated life. She was born in... Continue Reading →
Ganz lieben Dank an Birgit von Sätze und Schätze das ich bei Verschämte Lektüren mitmachen durfte 🙂 https://saetzeundschaetze.com/2014/12/12/verschamte-lekturen-patricia-highsmith/ Sabine zeigt sich auf ihrem Blog „Binge Reading & More“ als wahre Bücherverschlingerin. Die Lesegelage werden von ihr frech, fröhlich, frei, aber eben nicht fromm und brav präsentiert. Amüsierfaktor beim Lesen inklusive. Worauf ich ein wenig neidisch bin: Sie... Continue Reading →
What a nice surprise I had when I left the train in Hamburg. Found this book with a nice little note of the former owner saying she is leaving the book for another reader and wishes a merry x-mas. And it came just in time for Day 11 of the Penguin Book-a-Day-Challenge as I did... Continue Reading →
Found this book in my favourite bookshop a few days ago, the story sounded great and only when I was going to pay for it I realised that I had finally picked up the book by this years nobel prize winner Patrick Mondiano ("Ein Stammbaum"). Really happy because I meant to read a book by... Continue Reading →
OK - this is a bit of an embarrassing story. Got this book by a good friend and for some reason I had the book down as a freaky Sci-Fi classic. An inkling that the cover only increased. So I was reading away hoping and waiting for the Spaceships, Time travel bits, Laser weapons but uhmmm... SPOILER... Continue Reading →
This had to be a Philip Marlowe "hardboiled" mystery. I love this tough minded, hard-drinking, philosophical private eye with a - of course - purely professional interest in recurring femme fatales 😉 I was especially happy to find this especially pretty edition in a book exchange in Cambodia. Nothing like cuddling up on the sofa... Continue Reading →
This was a difficult choice between this one and Pippi Longstocking. I love all of Erich Kästners books but Emil always had a special place. It is especially fun reading it in Berlin and I will pack it for my next trip there. In case you belong to the few people who never read it:... Continue Reading →
