After I had some little accidents this week, my shoulder is aching badly. Well this means some extra reading time. 😍
panI didn‘t like this at all, and it seems I‘m in the minority in that. Oh well.
I'm doing my @bookriot #riotgrams October challenge all put of order, work's keeping me very busy!Contribution 11 #underratedreads-a book we picked up at Lisbon, because it was one of the few English books at #LerDevagar and is now one of my favourite books. A spellbinding account of a year that's pretty much laid the foundations for the 20th Century as we know it.
pickAlso just finished this brilliant book which gives an overview over the year 1913. I can't even imagine how much source material the author had to sort through how many dates he had to bring into order to create this dense picture of a year so full of creative, influential or misunderstood people. I wish he would pick another year and write another book. :)

Knowing him writing funny literature this one is more serious. He shows up the year before WWI and describes what happened in just one summer. This year changed the history of the whole world forever.

My other current read. Love this one, it is witty and interesting and contains so much information about that year. So much happened and so many different people interacted and influenced each other. :)
I am trying to make this last by (almost) only reading it on the tram or train. The form is perfect for that. :)
