Books that I read or I have recently read (in German):
in German
Zeruya Shalev "Liebesleben" [English: "Love Life: A Novel"; Polski: "Zycie miłosne"]
Shalev's intensely sexual novel chronicles the obsessive affair of a young, married graduate student, Ya'arah. Zeruya Shalev's way of writing is almost poetic. You will switch between being turned on and romantically moved. Germans would say that this book is "geil". Reich-Ranicki described it as: "... gehört zum Besten, was ich in den letzten Jahren gelesen habe." (Thank you Katarina)

Ildiko von Kürthy: "Mondscheintarif" ;
Eine wunderschönes Gute-Nacht-Urlaubs-Verschenk-Buch - leicht, locker, lustig und intelligent. Selten so lange und so oft geschmunzelt

Dietrich Schwanitz"BILDUNG - alles, was man wissen muss" [English: "EDUCATION: all one should know"]
It is very sexy, in my opinion, to be educated. To know. To understand. This book (and accompanying collection of musical CDs) is like a Jane Fonda's workout. Workout for your brain. Put it right next to your Bible.
Verlag: Eichborn
