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).

36th book - "Fame" - Daniel Kehlmann - 4 points

I need to read it again when I'm grown up I guess!
No easy reading.
What an opposite from "Measuring the Wolrd" about Humboldt and Gauss which I loved to read. I met Daniel Kehlmann in 2008 here in NYC at Instituto Cervantes and he signed on my German version "Die Vermessung der Welt".
I read "Fame" in the 2010 English hardcover version from Pantheon. I bought the book at good old Strand book half priced as it was sold as a review book in their basement.
ISBN: 978-0-307-37871-2.
