Morgenstern by Karl Ove Knausgard (orig. Norsk)

Very interesting description of the world as seen by different people


Just finished

Lydia Benecke: Auf dünnem Eis

Lydia Benecke is a German psychologist who specialized treating criminals and writes boosk on psychopathy.
This one was a recommendation my wife got from one of her pupils.

For me it is not as well as "The Wisdom of Psychopaths" by Kevin Dutton, which I read some years back.


About to finish

Margaret Atwood: das Jahr der Flut (orig. The year of the Flood)

The second part of aapocalyptic trilogy (MaddAdam) of which I surely will read the third part.


@Ponderable

I'm presently reading books by the Swedish writer Stefan Ahnhem.


Haruki Murakami: Killing Commendatore


Mario Giordano: Terra di Sicilia
i. Book: Die Rückkehr des Patriarchen


I have read some books during our summer vactaions... e.g. the third book of Margaret Atwood MaddAdams' s cycle.

Now I am reading a colection of short Stories by Cixin Liu, published as "Wandernde Erde" in German.

This book has too many names I don't recognize in American politics, so I leave it.

Reading Deon Meyer "Devils Peak"


Maren Kreiter: Grenzenlos zuhause

A book on a (with interruptions) 4 yrea long hitchhiking trip. Very optimistic book.


Deon Meyer: Icarus (2015)


Jenny Lawson: Furiously Happy

A book with a series of independent chapters on how the author deals with her psychich problems. Highle recommended (and I will give that one to some people)


The Master and His Emissary by Iain McGilchrist [audiobook].

"The differing world views of the right and left brain (the "Master" and "Emissary" in the title, respectively) have, according to the author, shaped Western culture since the time of the ancient Greek philosopher Plato, and the growing conflict between these views has implications for the way the modern world is changing. In part, McGilchrist's book, which is the product of twenty years of research, reviews the evidence of previous related research and theories, and based on this and cultural evidence, the author arrives at his own conclusions." ~ wiki
