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).

27th book - "Night" - Elie Wiesel - 9 points

What a high value! Elie Wiesel writes about the persecution of the Jews and their deadly treatments in Auschwitz, Buchenwald, etc.
A must read to understand the Holocaust and the concentration camps in Nazi Germany.
Elie Wiesel (*1928) is US-American. He was awarded the Nobel Peace Price in 1986.
I read the first edition of the new 2006 translation by his wife Marion Wiesel. Hill and Wang, a division of Farrar, Straus and Giroux. ISBN: 978-0-374-50001-6. First published in 1958.
