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).

40th book - "Freedom" - Jonathan Franzen - 10 points

A true story of our time. Sometimes hard to read, but at the end more than rewarding and you really start thinking of the perfectly described characters in the book and compare to your own life.
Amazingly ironic and written to make me laugh so loud at night in bed that my wife woke up. See the last 2 lines on page 430 and continue the next 2 pages or so. Just to let you know that Joey swallowed his wedding ring a few days before and now is in vacation with his "girlfriend" in Patagonia.
I'm reading the 2010 hardcover edition from Farrar, Straus & Giroux. ISBN 978-0-312-60084-6
