I have been in the book and publishing industry most of my life and when I stopped working to retire in May of this year from Penguin Random House, I wanted to continue my passion: to read of course, to talk about books, after all this is how I earned my living , and new: to write about them, ergo this blog - to purely entertain myself and food for thought for the reading community perhaps, hopefully inspiring other readers to check out my reading choices themselves.
Since I mostly read English originals, my postings will be mainly in English but I will also read German books and share my view in German. In my opinion, how one feels about a book is a deeply personal affair, all kinds of moods and factors affect our reading choices. A book one tossed into the corner a few weeks ago , feels just right all of a sudden. I have often had my problems with literary reviewers and very often begged to differ. I will share with you how I personally feel about the very book I just read and hopefully you will enjoy my postings. Of course you are very welcome to have a completely different view.
