Gestern Abend habe ich den neunten Band der Southern Vampire Miysteries ausgelesen und war wie immer begeistert. Es war nicht der beste Teil der Serie, aber immer noch ein verngügliches Lesen - trotz der vielen Toten.
Heute Abend werde ich dann wieder mit einem Buch zu meinem Lieblingsthema beginnen, auf das ich mich schon lange freue.
Mein Neues:
Michael CHABON
Maps & Legends
Maps & Legends
Reading and Writing along the Borderlands
Product Description: A collection of essays on books and why they matter, by the Pulitzer-award winning writer of The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay and The Yiddish Policeman's Union. Michael Chabon's sparkling book of nonfiction is a love song in 16 parts - a series of linked essays in praise of reading and writing, with subjects running from ghost stories to comic books, Sherlock Holmes to Cormac McCarthy. Throughout, Chabon energetically argues for a return to the thrilling, chilling origins of storytelling, rejecting the false walls around 'serious' literature in favor of a wide-ranging affection. His own fiction, meanwhile, is explored from the perspective of personal history: post-collegiate desperation sparks his debut, The Mysteries of Pittsburgh; procrastination and doubt reveal the way toward Wonder Boys; a love of comics and a basement golem combine to create the Pulitzer Prize-winning The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay; and an enigmatic Yiddish phrasebook unfurls into The Yiddish Policeman's Union.
