Finished reading: Beatlebone by Kevin Barry 📚

I liked the book. It is about John Lennon, who wants to go to a small island in Ireland and scream. Very poetic.

The staff in the library recommend books by putting them on display in the bookshelves. I love to pick those recomended books up and be suprised.

Finished listening to: Das Kind in mir will achtsam morden by Karsten Dusse 📚

This was way worse than the first part of the “murder mindfully” series. A quite bizarre and unbelievable plot - which I like, but too much bashing of progressive world views. I mean I can laugh about some of the absurdities of wanting to fighting against climate change and living a hipster lifestyle. I can also laugh about mindfullness as a tool for success and even murder. After all I am a mindfull hipster. But it’s not enough to make up for the rest of the book.😮‍💨 Hope the next book is more entertaining.

Finished reading: Der Stempelmörder by Torsten Schönberg 📚

A typical regional crime thriller. It’s about German economic refugees in Vienna, many corpses. The book has a rather flat sense of humor. Not a special book and completely unrealistic, but I read it to the end and found it amusing.

Finished reading: Blue Remembered Earth by Alastair Reynolds 📚

Great Sci Fi, but not perfect. Feels like the prequel to an epic adventure. Now I really want to read the other books from the series.

I love the book so far.

Reminder to myself: If you are in an argument with life, life wins! Every time. Take it lightly and be a good looser.
