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).

50th book - "Eine Frage der Zeit" - Alex Capus - 8 points

The story takes places in German East African colony at the outbreak of WWI from 1913 through 1916 and is deeply researched by the author Alex Capus.
3 Germans have the order to bring down a steam ship from Germany to Tanzania in thousand parts and build it all together at the African lake Tanganyika in the mid of the African continent. Interesting, sad and a brief description of African culture and the senseless and brutality of colonization.
I read the paperback 2007 version published by btb-Verlag.
Alex Capus was born in 1961.
