Verschämte Lektüren (16): Dramen unter Damen mit Lesegelage

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 →

Day 11 – Penguin Book-a-Day-Challenge: Christmas Classic

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 →

Day 10 – Penguin Book-a-Day-Challenge: Latest Purchase

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 →

Day 9 – Penguin Book-a-Day-Challenge ( I judged this by its cover)

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 →

Day 8 – Penguin Book-a-Day-Challenge (It’s a mystery!)

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 →

Day 7 – Penguin Book-a-Day-Challenge (Childhood Favourite)

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 →

Meine Woche

Gesehen: "An inconvenient truth" - informative Reportage von Dave Guggenheim über Al Gores Aufklärungskampagne zum Thema Global Warming. "Taxi Driver" - zu Recht Kult. Hat mich sehr beeindruckt. "Wer ist Hanna" - abgefahrener Action Thriller mit schönen Bildern und tollem Soundtrack, die Story selbst ist a bisserl dürftig. Gehört: Chemical Brothers "Hanna" Gelesen: Zwei Artikel über zwei spannende Frauen.... Continue Reading →

Day 6 – Penguin Book-a-Day Challenge (Everyone should read)

So sorry - had to cheat a bit. Just couldn't make up my mind which book "everyone should read" so I picked the wonderful "Novel Cure" by Ella Berthoud and Susan Elderkin which offers a wide selection of phantastic books for about any situation or predicament you might find yourself in. From A like abandonment... Continue Reading →

The Susan Sontag Read-athon

Vor ein paar Wochen habe ich mich auf einen Susan Sontag Read-athon begeben, eine Autorin, Essayistin, Welt-Intellektuelle die ich schon sehr lange bewundere und über die ich nach einer kürzlich gesehenen Dokumentation gerne noch mehr erfahren wollte. Als mir Daniel Schreibers Biografie "Susan Sontag. Geist und Glamour" in die Hände fiel, beschloss ich dieses "Mehr... Continue Reading →

Day 5 Penguin Book-a-Day Challenge (Quintessentially British)

Can it get any more British than with Dame PD James - who sadly passed away this year at the age of 94. I can't think of anything nicer than spending a rainy weekend on the sofa with a cozy mystery of PD James or Agatha Christie, drinking some tea and hope somebody might magically...
