Pic by Franzi. In my literature club we just finished reading Astrid Lindgren’s War Diaries from 1939 until 1945 (German edition Die Menschheit hat den Verstand verloren). She started writing it on September 1, 1939 with the words: „Oh, today the war started.“ Back then, Lindgren was still an unknown person in the literature world.
Pic by Franzi. I may be the last person in Germany who read Darm mit Charme (aka ‚charming intestines‘) by scientist Gulia Enders. Honestly, even my mother did it before me (after all, I read her used and highlighted copy). I just was not interested in a whole book about my intestines. But then I

Pic by Franzi. A am really into novels about women mastering their unique way of life, ending either tragic or succesful and happy. The book Das kunstseidene Mädchen/The artificial silk girl by Irmgard Keun falls into the first category. I found a used copy in one of my favorite book shops in Hamburg. This is

The Rosie Project by Graeme Simsion is a book that honestly haunted me. When it was released a few years ago, I read the summary: „Don Tillman, professor of genetics, has never been on a second date. He is a man who can count all his friends on the fingers of one hand, whose lifelong difficulty

Pic by Franzi. The Ocean At The End Of The Lane – or author Neil Gaiman in general – were recommended to me by several people recently. Finally, my pal Marie borrowed me her copy. Here comes my book review… Summary: A middle-aged man returnes to his childhood hometown because of a funeral. Afterwards, instead
