Rebecca F. Kuang: Yellowface (Hardcover, 2023, HarperCollins Publishers Limited)

What's the harm in a pseudonym? New York Times bestselling sensation Juniper Song is not …

Review of 'Yellowface' on 'Goodreads'

Yellow Face is a reflection of our society today and of its contradictions. Kuang takes a thought-provoking critical look at the entire literary industry and the effects of racism, privilege, and cultural appropriation. Its gripping plot makes the book a compelling read that you can hardly put down.

Das große Arthur C. Clarke Lesebuch. Die sieben Sonnen - Die letzte Generation - Im Mondstaub versunken (Paperback)

Review of 'Das große Arthur C. Clarke Lesebuch. Die sieben Sonnen - Die letzte Generation - Im Mondstaub versunken' on 'Goodreads'

Etwas in die Jahre gekommener Golden Age SciFi Roman, der ein gutes Script für einen 70er Jahre Action-/Katastrophenfilm geliefert hätte ;-)

Bill Bryson: The Body: A Guide for Occupants (2019, Doubleday)

Review of 'The Body: A Guide for Occupants' on 'Goodreads'

Fascinating journey through the human body and through the history of medical science and treatments. As always, Bryson's book benefits from sometimes famous but most times unknown anecdotal stories about people, their illness or their research.

Kurt Vonnegut: Slaughterhouse-five ; The sirens of Titan ; Player-piano ; cat's cradle ; Breakfast of champions ; Mother night (Hardcover, 1980, Octopus/Heinemann)

Review of "Slaughterhouse-five ; The sirens of Titan ; Player-piano ; cat's cradle ; Breakfast of champions ; Mother night" on 'Goodreads'

Welcome to the strange world of Billy Pilgrim, who is unstuck in time, i.e. he is traveling through different periods of his life without knowing where he might end up next. This gives him an unconventional perception and understanding of life. Nevertheless, the ultimative anti-war book, not only because of the bombing of Dresden.

Robert Jordan: Das Rad der Zeit - Das Original (2004, Piper Verlag GmbH)

Die Suche nach dem Auge der Welt

Review of 'Das Rad der Zeit - Das Original' on 'Goodreads'

Epischer Genreklassiker und Auftakt einer gewaltigen Serie, der im Grundgerüst dem Herr-der-Ringe-Schema folgt und die bunt zusammengewürfelten ProtagonistInnen quer durchs Land schickt um einer gemeinsamen Aufgabe zu folgen, die in der uralten Schlacht Gut-gegen-Böse mündet.
