Bookshelf
I absolutely love reading and in 2007 I started reading books in their original language (i.e. English, for the most part) only. It’s so much better than having to deal with annoying German translations. Plus, it’s more exciting - albeit more expensive - to have books shipped over here from the US and own the original copies that most people over here don’t have.
I have the tendency to read Oprah’s Book Club books. Yeah, I know. I’ve had my share of unbelieving stares and pitying head-tilts. Her books are just always really great! But I also enjoy wandering through bookstores and picking up a couple of books that look interesting at first glance. Furthermore, I am addicted to purchasing things from Amazon.
You can check out a list of the books I read in 2007 here. The first book is the one I read last - that’s a creative-minded person’s logic. Anyway, take a look at it and see which books I recommend to you!
Here is a list of the books I have read so far in 2008.
What I’m currently reading:
Three Cups of Tea by Greg Mortenson and David Oliver Relin
Books already waiting on my bookshelf that I’m going to read next:
America (The Book): A Citizen’s Guide to Democracy Inaction by Jon Stewart
Gossip Girl: Don’t you forget about me by Cecily von Ziegesar
World without End by Ken Follet

Books I’m going to buy as soon as possible:

I am always looking for new books and especially different kinds of books that, maybe, I normally wouldn’t pick out myself. So if there are any books you’d like to recommend to me, let me know.
