I have just finished reading John Le Carré "Silverview", made me feel a bit melancholy knowing it was his last novel.

Deon Meyer: Dead at Daybreak. Bought it in a second-hand store for about 1 USD.

I can't find the original thread.

I'm reading Malin Thunberg Schunke: De Rättslösa (translated Those without rights), 2020.
Associate Professor in Criminal Law at the University of Uppsala. She holds an LLD in Criminal Law (Uppsala University) and an LLM in Criminology and Criminal Justice (King`s College, London). Her research interests lie in national and international criminal law particularly EU judicial cooperation in criminal matters and human rights.
Chaucer - The Canterbury Tales. Maybe a big mistake on my part. Despite its quaint title, deciphering old English script is a bit like trying to read Marcus Aurelius in Chinese. YouTube tutorials have helped a bit, but if this doesn't get easier soon, I'll call it a mistake and move on.

Reiner Ponschab und Adrian Schweizer: Die Streitzeit ist vorbei

A book on mediation in economic environment, quite funny, despite the serious content.

I would recommend this novel to all John Le Carré-lovers and those who have never tried him.

I ordered it from our local library. Hope to see it soon. BTW, Five Little Indians won this year’s Canada Reads competition, beating out the novel Scarborough in the final.

It should be a very good read, I will await a Swedish translation.

Mark Manson: The subtle art of not giving a ****

In fact the author seems to have not many new ideas, but sells his book by using the expletive in the title and overly so in the first chapter.

The coaching ideas are well anyway.

I found the book in a "rotes Regal" where people exchaneg books and will put it back there.

I'm taking a break to finish Jean-Christophe Grangé 'Miserere' (2008), a thriller, where this music plays a central part
