Will do! Its pretty interesting so far.

Good move, but why not earlier?

I read as always several books at once.

One of them is Babel by R. F. Kuang. I was blown away at first, but after the first third of the book I’m not as as enthusiastic anymore. Everything to do with languages and translation is awesome, the characters are well defined but a bit one-dimensional so far, but I think the plot is nothing to write home about and has some „young adult“ vibes to me. It’s still good though, and I’m far from finished yet.

Another one is „the notebook a history of thinking on paper“ I just got it today, but it looks very promising.

Yeah, never could get into the baroque cycle von Stephenson. And he wrote at least 2 of my favourite books, Snow Crash and cryptonomicon. Reamde is also very good. But Quicksilver is just not as interesting as the premise suggests.

Wirklich lesenswert! Man sollte sich allerdings etwas Zeit nehmen dafür, das ist kein kurzer Text. Also eher in einer ruhigen Minute daheim auf dem Sofa als so zwischen Tür und Schwelle.

Yes! Brother, we might be few but we are here. Fuck Wintertime, summertime all along.

Naja, der 1. Atomausstieg zum Beispiel. Oder diese Idee der FDP jedes Quartal beim Arzt eine Gebühr zahlen zu müssen.

Ja, genau und die nächste Regierung macht dann alles wieder rückgängig nachdem sie aktiv Wahlkampf gegen dieses unpopuläre Thema gemacht hat.

Sorry, ich will nicht sagen dass das eine schlecht Idee ist, nur eben nicht so einfach.

Danke!
