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).

11th book - "33 Augenblicke des Glücks" - Ingo Schulze - 3 points

"33 moments of happiness" ... I'm very disappointed Ingo. Phantasie writing at its best, often no connection, hundreds of names, etc. etc. - the only thing I really liked were his perfect observations and descriptions. I need to give him a chance and read another book.
Ingo Schulze is German born in 1962. I met and heard first about him in May 2008 when he was interviewed at the Goethe Institute in New York City. He signed the book "Simple Stories" for me.
Günther Grass describes him as "our new epic storyteller".
Published in 1995. I read the 2007 German language edition of "Süddeutsche Zeitung / Bibliothek". ISBN: 978-3-86615-505-3.
