August (16):
Der einsame Baum (The one tree) (Stephen Donaldson): being the second book of the second chronicles of Thomas Covenant the Unbeliever. Covenant has taken to the Sea with Giants and Linden Avery in search of the one tree from which he wishes to shape a new staff of law with which to save the land. Reading this now
Fight Club (Chuck Palahniuk): Mischief. Mayhem. Soap. In Tyler we trust.
Für eine Handvoll Pfund - Geschichten von der Nightside 10 (The Good, the Bad, and the Uncanny) (Simon R. Green): Book ten in Green's series about the supernatural detective John Taylor, this tells the tale of how Walker, the face of law in the Nightisde, dies, and how John Taylor becomes his replacement. Review copy.
Götter und Kulte der Germanen (Rudolf Simek): An overview of the faiths of the germanic tribes. Reading this now.
Ketzerfürst - Der Große Bruderkrieg 14 (The first Heretic) (Aaron Dembski-Bowden): Yes, yet another Horus Heresy novel. Pretty interesting so far, to be honest. Reading this right now.
Living Wicca (Scott Cunningham): The companion and follow up volume to Wicca for beginners.
Robots and Empire (Isaac Asimov): The last of Asimovs Robot stories, and the bridge novel between the Robot Trilogy and the Galactic Empire trilogy. reading this now.
Snow Crash (Neal Stephenson): Okay, so there's this guy called Hiro Protagonist, freelance hacker and world's best swordfighter. And pizza deliverer for Cosa Nostra Pizza. And things just get weird from there. This book is the last of the cyberpunk novels, and probably one of the first postcyberpunk tales. Reading this now
Die Stahlhöhlen (Isaac Asimov): A weird compilation - the first two books of Asimov's Robot-Trilogy. Why they didn't collect all three of these rather good detective stories into one book, no idea...
Sturmnacht - Dresden Files 1 (Stormfront) - Jim Butcher: "But Alla," I hear you cry, "You already read this one!". And yes, I did, but this was a review copy Feder & Schwert sent me for Aktion Abenteuer
Das verwundete Land (The wounded land) (Stephen Donaldson): The first book in the the second chronicles of Thomas Covenant the unbeliever. Thomas Covenant is returned to the Land, but this time he's not alone - and this time, he might be the danger.
Und Nietzsche weinte (When Nietzsche wept) (Irvin D. Yalom): A semi-historical novel that has Nietzsche treating his doctor while his Doctor treats him. Not quite my kind of book, but the last in the package sternenwanderer sent me.
Weiße Nächte - Dresden Files 9 (White Night) (Jim Butcher): Once again a review copy from Feder & Schwert, their latest translation of one of JIm's books. There's been a series of suicides that aren't suicides, and somehow Harry's half-brother, the Vampire Thomas, might be involved...
Wicca - A guide for the solitary practitioner (Scott Cunningham): A very good introductionary book, I highly recommend it (As well as the otehr Cunningham book on this list and the Sabin book)
Wicca for beginners (Thea Sabin): You know, I've never advertised my faith, but then I've never made much of a secret of it, so sometimes it does come as a suprise when someone is suprised about this kind of book on my list...
Wolfsjagd - Dresden Files 2 (Fool Moon) (Jim Butcher): Another review copy from the early Dresden Files.
