Had to put tuis one aside for the moment. It is tough going.

Getting started on this awesome story. Was gripped from the off despite the difficult language

Quality read. Needed the help notes to understand everything though.

Getting further into hell

One of the most powerful books I have read. Ridiculously blunt and poetically surreal.

Getting started on this one now...

Wonderful story and fairly chilling. Enjoyed reading this again.

New books in with a choas feel. Looking forward to these.

Just found out there are 2 more books to The Last Vampire series. Can't stop before the end even though I have been steadily losing my will to read on from book to book. 😞

Complete waste of time, sadly. Not even nostalgia can make up for this incredibly pointless story.

Bit ridiculous so far. There was a chapter long side story about winning the olympics.

'Twas a tough one. There was a moment in the middle where I was almost convinced that no amount of nostalgia could make it worth reading to the end. The end was excotong though and now it is on to book 5.

Story went way off track at the end with an unnecessary "twist". Have stsrted book four but am hoping for something interesting to happen. I swear I will get to book 7. optimism is fading though.

Still enjoying this though more and more ashamedely.

Since the app is growing, thought it was time to get a face to the name. Hi. I am Ande and I am enjoying Litsy.

So it is definitely teen fiction. Take it for what it is and it is an enjoyable read with some interesting comments on the world scattered through the somewhat thin storyline. I'm off to read the next part.

Exactly what you expect. But better...

It is amazing how much we owe to the german genius. Lasting creations that have made our lives much more comfortable and enlightened.

Inspiring guy.

Finished. Teen fiction is appropriate. Enjoyable stuff though. On to Black Blood, the scond of 7.

Read it and open your eyes to the real world. Step outside the hyperreal and see what is really there

This book can be seen as an awful way of manipulating women to get them into bed. As someone who does not underestimate the intelligence of people - women or men, I don't see it that way. This book can help you to become a clnfident person.

A futher 100 pages down and the story is already approaching it's close I guess. Got kind of dark with Raksha. Excited to read on because I really can't remember many details from back then.

First two chapters read before falling asleep last night - 1 brutal murder, 1 insightful reference about how we remember WW2 with nostalgia rather than horror in the west, much talk of sex, drinking blood, cheating, families breaking up etc. Not disappointing so far.

Have returned to this series, which I read as a teen, and am starting with Book 1 right now. Suprised and a little embarassed to see it classed as teen fiction as I remember feeling differently about it back then. Let us see if my mind is changed after book 7...

This book completely changed my opinion about and managed this feat in subtle steps. Really struggled with it at the start and found Ove inconsistent and the story way too slow. After understanding that this is the way the author tells the story it was much more plasant to read. Really liked his way of slowly and intelligently filling in the blanks throughout the chapters and his comparisons and descrptions, in particular, of sounds was great.

Had to read this as a kid. And still like it.

The Sleeping Carriage showed me for the first time how expansively devastating the 2 World War was. Used this book for a psychoanalytical study and found so much more depth than I imagined as well as a clue to why we produce literature at all.

Read this book when I was about 15 and knew nothing about what to expect. About to reread it 15 years later because the story has stuck in my mind all this time.

Learned a lot from this book e.g. around the world and ear candles. Interesting story and well worth reading. We can build anything.

Every time I think about Buster Casey I remember that he stuck his nose pickings to the walls. Set the tone for the charachter really well.

My dog and I and my dog me and mygirlfriend have a much better relationship since reading this book

About to start this one in German. Without having read a page, I am expecting something similar to the 100 year old who....you know.

Good plain overview.

The less keen the would-be rulers of a community are to lead, the better and less divided the administration of that community is bound to be, but where the rulers feel the opposite, the administration is bound to be the opposite.

...if like Queequeg and me in the bed, the tip of your nose or the crown of your head be slightly chilled, why then, indeed, you feel most comfortably warm...For the height of this sort of deliciousness is to have nothing but the blanket between you and your snugness and the cold of the outer air. Then there you lie like the one warm spark in the heart of an artic crystal.

Trout's leading robot looked like a human being, and could talk and dance and so on, and go out with girls. And nobody held it against him that he dropped jellied gasoline on people. But they found his halitosis unforgiveable. But then he cleaned that up, and he was welcomed to the human race.

This book made me a better guitarist. Brilliant read and full of incredible stories.

Crazy sex monk wizard. It is as good as it sounds.

See what you read!

My heart bled to this story. Dear Mrs. Frisby.

Very comprehensive and engaging history.

I was gripped by this book which is jam packed with the history of Jerusalem. There is so much more to read around it, however, I went for Exodus by Leon Uris directly after. Also binged on The History of the Arab Spring Podcast to try and get a fair and complete picture. See also The Crusades by Thomas Asbridge.

This book made me see the rodiculousness of all organised religions.

Try it out. Often seems like a hard read but once you get into it, it is accessible. Give it a go.

The art of hunger. The vastness of this book captures the vastness of the USA in my imagination (I have never been).

Perfect explanation for why Germany is like it is now. Wonderful moment of clarity in the 'Zwiebelkeller'.

Brilliant! Does what it promises - makes you believe in god.....or beleive it was right to study psychoanalysis.

Important book but very one sided.
