my book-list
And because I haven't really updated my personal book challenge:
January: Limit, Frank Schätzing
February: Fliegen ohne Flüge, Tiziano Terzani
March: Shades of Grey, Jasper Fforde
April: Wilsberg und die Malerin (Wilsberg and the painter), Jürgen Kehrer
June: Ein Jahr in Tel Aviv (one year in...), Christian Wirtz
July: Ein Jahr in New York, Nadine Sieger
August: Ein Jahr in Australien, Julica Jungehülsing
September: Gebrauchsanweisung China (instruction manual for China), Kai Strittmatter
October: Ein Jahr in Peking, Katharina Rutz
I have started reading a few books from the library, adrian mole and the weapons of mass destruction and a few others, but I finished none of those, they just didn't grab my interest.
I already talked about the first two books before. Shades of grey was wonderful, so intriguing, such an imagination! He created a whole world with new rules and a society that you really have to work to get into, because it's like nothing I ever heard before. With this book, Jasper Fforde has made me a fan of his work for life.
Wilsberg is a thriller that plays in my university town, Münster.
The one year in books are all written by women who stay in another place, another country for a year, life and work there. Some books are better than others, because the quality of the authors varies a lot.
Australia, New York and Tel Aviv were all really good, but I had to struggle to finish the Beijing book, because the author is just that bad! And that's the one I was kinda dreading to read from the beginning, because I have such specific memories of living there. She also writes pretty badly, too.
Next on my list: Finger Licking Fifteen, Janet Evanovich, Juliet, Naked, Nick Hornby, The Carrie Diaries, Candace Bushnell
All are recommendations by my old guitar teacher, who is really lovely. I am curious how I'll like them. I think Evanovich could have stopped her series a few years ago, there seems to be nothing new there. I really like some of Hornby's work, and then dislike others. And even though I love the series, I always disliked the first Sex and the City book. I think the series did much better the farer away they went from the book.
