Charles Lewinsky: Der Wille des Volkes

Exceptionally bad book. Not only the misogynistic approach to the protagonists and how they interact, but also the illogical structure, make it a pain to read.

Clearly the author didn’t think this through and forfaited everything this book could have been in favor of shipping something in tune with the zeitgeist for a quick buck quickly.

If you wonder: the story told would basically end after the first phone call, since surveillance is in effect already at this point, as is explained in the final couple of pages.

don’t read. waste of time.

Bill Bryson: Neither Here nor There: Travels in Europe

one of the books I just can’t finish. Full of self-centricity, misogyny and disrespect for… well, basically everything. It’s fascinating how in 1991 authors were able to publish books like this to acclaim. (and if you now consider reading it, streisand effect and all: don’t)

Don Norman: The Design of Everyday Things

Another one of those books I had on my kindle for… forever. I started it once, but seemingly got distracted, which had me start from the beginning again.

Great book, well written, lots of fun examples, and good coverage of fundamentals. Recommended.
