Lars (herodotvonhalikarnassos) | 56 comments I'm usually not satisfied with reading one book at a time, so there is going to be a list.
I'm still reading Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance: An Inquiry Into Values; I'm taking my time because I enjoy it very much, but also because it is very complex. I'd recommend it to anybody who is interested in an introduction to philosophy. At the very least you'll be exposed to some of the names and ideas of influential thinkers like Plato, Kant and Hegel. It's not an easy read, though.
I'm also brushing up on my understanding of German history. So, I'm reading Wehler's 'Deutsche Gesellschaftsgeschichte' (It's not listed in the goodreads library and I'm to lazy to add it). I've still a few thousand pages to go here ...
And last but not least The Shadow of the Wind, which I'm reading in German. Zafon is clearly one of the best contemporary writers around right now.


Vanessa (bookfairy95) (bookfairy95) | 41 comments I just uploaded 2 reviews for the two books I was reading. One I found on my kindle recently and I read it, because it was a standalone and I needed a short series break. XD
Girl Unseen by Kate Ellison This one is a paranormal thriller and I enjoyed it. It was a quick read and also had some depth to it.

Unwavering (World War II #3) by Marion Kummerow The other one is the final instalment in a historical fiction trilogy. What I really like about this trilogy is that it is based on a true story. The main characters are the author's grandparents and this really intrigued me in the beginning. It was a good end to the trilogy, but I had some smaller issues.

Both books were good, but not amazing so I only gave them a medium rating.

With these two I'm now 6 books ahead of schedule! :D I think this is the first time I'm so far ahead. XD I don't know what to read next yet, or even if I'll start a new book today. But I guess I will check out my bookshelf soon enough. Haha XD

Lars (herodotvonhalikarnassos) | 56 comments I think I need to reexamine my goals, because with finishing Nemesis Games (The Expanse #5) by James S.A. Corey , I'm now an incredible 16 books ahead of schedule... How did that happen?

Angelica Cindy (unicornprincess_54) | 20 comments I'm currently reading Illuminae (The Illuminae Files, #1) by Amie Kaufman
At first I found it a little confusing but then it started making sense and the story plot is SO GOOD. I can't BREATHE, the book is very intense :O I'm almost done and I NEED to see the ending!!

Vanessa (bookfairy95) (bookfairy95) | 41 comments I will receive my copy of everless at the weekend and I plan on starting it as soon as I get my hands on it!!!
