40 books in 2010! 20 books in 2011! How many in 2012?
Finishing the last page of a nice book is so much rewarding, so I thought to read more since January 2010 instead of wasting my time in front of the PC or TV. I read whatever I think might be interesting. Fiction or Nonfiction. Each book opens a new horizon. With the books you can travel around the world. ..... I just want to do something useful for myself.
I read English and German language. The ranking is from 1 (=very bad) through 10 (=excellent).

13th book - "Bestattung eines Hundes" - Thomas Pletzinger - 9 points

Is this really Thomas' first novel? Wow! Very interesting story and very inventive writing. The story takes places at Lake Lugano, New York and Northeast of Brazil, plus some places in Germany. Crazy and phenomenal at the same time. His language especially in the beginning in the New York story is very vulgar, but if this is the new generation of writers (like Charlotte Roche), I go for it. Do it, why not? Write in all freedom you feel! And Thomas did it. Will buy your next book for sure Thomas!
Thomas Pletzinger is German (*1975).
I read the first hardcover edition 2008 in German language by Verlag Kiepenheuer & Witsch, Köln. ISBN 978-3-462-03968-9.
