Von Seattle nach Venedig

Gestern Abend habe ich das dünne Buch von Stephenie Meyer ausgelesen. Es war nicht uninteressant, aber da man ja wußte wie es ausgeht, auch nicht besonders spannend. Interessant war die Geschichte der Bree Tanner und der Armee von neugeborenen Vampiren aber schon und man hat eben die Hintergrundgeschichte erfahren.

Mein nächstes Buch ist ein Sachbuch und führt mich nach Venedig:

John BERENDT
The City of Fallen Angels

Product Description: Taking the fire that destroyed the Fenice theatre in 1996 as his starting point, John Berendt creates a unique and unforgettable portrait of Venice and its extraordinary inhabitants. Beneath the exquisite facade of the world's most beautiful historic city, scandal, corruption and venality are rampant, and John Berendt is a master at seeking them out. Ezra Pound and his mistress, Olga; poet Mario Stefani; the Rat Man of Treviso; or Mario Moro -- self-styled carabiniere, fireman, soldier or airman, depending on the day of the week. With his background in journalism, Berendt is perfectly poised to gain access to private and unapproachable people, and persuade them to talk frankly to him. The result is mischievous, witty, compelling - and destined to be the non-fiction succes d'estime of the year.
