didn't expect it to be as intriguing as it turned out to be
started
read - well, it's Platon ;)
parts of it impressed me
Herakles falls in love with Iole and his wife ruled by jealousy sends him a deadly gift and regrets it once she realises what she did - a classic

Sefer Jezira – Buch der Schöpfung
by Klaus Herrmann (Hg)
contains the long (held in Vatican)as well as the short version (the one held at British Library). furthermore there is another version and an extensive comment part attached. been a very interesting read.
didn't get beyond page 7 - not the style of reading I enjoy
the 2nd case of Omar Yussuf - just as enjoyable
Liberales Judentum
by Max Dienemann
published originally in 1935
read part one - the desert as I imagin' it
only read the intro as I had read the story already
beautiful short stories (set in times long gone by)
author of: Russian Disco (bestseller), Salve Papa!, Ich bin kein Berliner, Militärmusik, Schönhauser Allee und Ich mache mir Sorgen, Mama
a true Alan Bennett
what a sweet story!
the very first book I read on genetics. it's a miracle to me how the author (prof at Oxford Univ). managed to explain all those process in such terms that I could not only follow, but got almost excited when reading about his research.
currently reading
struggling through (again getting to and beyond the borders of my physiks knowledge)
currently reading. extremely insightful&inspiring! the amount of smartness on every page beats almost every book I have read so far.
incredibly touching!
just a nice overview (not a book to read from first to last page)
a story lovely told
these Sanskrit wisdoms are truely amazing! can totally understand why Schopenhauer became a big fan - so have I :)
not yet read
I quite like his poetry
was very curious about Hafis' work. Although it's still nice, I find that it doesn't speak to me or someone in the 21st century as much.

Das große Protokoll gegen Zwetschkenbaum.

what a wonderful story! fantastic how it puts you in a completely different & distant world.
unbelievable how this book touched me. it's like no other.
read the framing story - wow!
intriguing story! fascinating to see how the story appeared in different versions over time
what a style to write! definitely as good as every claims!
a wonderful book although I had to come to terms with the fact that my math understanding is insufficient to follow all it
not yet read
beautifully told - goes beyond my understanding of physics though (challenging)
brilliant book which introduced an extra-ordinary woman to me. ever grateful I came across that book
already the introduction is very fascinating
not like the structure at all - makes no sense to me
how often will I have to read this book to start remembering the kings and queens in right order? ;)
Always feel a little lost in English history.
love the idea put forward in this book! (finally, someone who challenges the blabla about elites being the smartest/wisest of the population)
very insightful. slightly disturbing to see where and how our mind can fool us or lead us astray
excellent!
simply wonderful
excellent - the best of its kind
the author touches some very delicate and important issues, but in a very humourous way
didn't finish this book. didn't like it as much as the first book by Mrs. Lewycka
entertaining :)
makes you reflect and lead me to surprising insights
a fantastic book!
very informative; treasured the book for it's balanced portrayal of an outstanding, but not infallible man
what a fantastic book! all you could possibly wish to know presented in an enjoyable manner
Die neue Renaissance
by Douglas Rushkoff
should have read this book much earlier! scary how it only crosses your mind that you never though about how the Ottoman Empire rose before reading about it
extra-ordinary! there is nothing like this book. fantastic to have someone like Mr. Taleb challenging your thinking on every page!
it's the chapter2 of the book "the Jewish Century" (entitled: Swann's Nose: The Jews and Other Moderns)
very fascinating - too much I didn't know about at all before buying this book
an indispensible book for anyone interested in politics and I wish it were made mandatory reading for all pupiles before the turn 18 (= eligible to exercise their right as a citizen: to vote)
did'nt finish this book - bored me a bit (seems all the book reviews I heard about this book are overrated)

started - a bit boring to read the same old stereotypes (the woman cheats and then feels sooo guilty about it). guess at a time it was a sensation to even admit that it happens, but nowadays this isn't so exciting - at least not to me
what a way to right about some serious problems facing our societies! a wonderful author and a great story!
absolutely loved the short story about the development officer in Africa!
moving and touching on every page. love the structuring of the book (smart)
a sweet book despite the tragic story
In cosa crede chi non crede?
by Carlo Maria Martini and Umberto Eco
Die blassblaue Frauenschrift
by Franz Werfel
didn't finish the book - it seems a little too much a story of the past or of a different place where traditional values are still strictly enforced e.g. SaudiA (the inner turmoil of a woman who cheats on her husband and is then blackmailed by a woman)
good story
fabulous - the author and the story!
wasn't sure what to expect from this book, but was positively surprised. like how the book is built. totally justified that the author was nominated for young writers award.
fabulous! intelligently written. unable to put the book down!
insightful! something I haven't read much about before. to see how Plato/Aristoteles and the Romans thought about languages explains many things which I took for granted before. Looking forward to the next chapters.
what a wonderful book! it teaches so much in such a pleasant manner: I believe the way the books is structured (chapters) gives you a good idea how Leonardo must have thought about certain things.

Warum Hagen Jung-Ortlieb erschlug. Unzeitgemäßes über Krieg und Tod.
by Jan Philipp Reemtsma
excellent essays on violence in literature e.g. the Nibelungen, Odyssee, the Storm, Kleist's works
exhausting to read just a few lines - know what the chapters are about from the intro, but to actually read it line by line is incredibly tiring as it is such an effort (not used to that I guess)
enjoyed this book - although I found myself lost in Russian geography a few times ;)
I like Clair Tomalin's style - makes it a great pleaure to read about Shellby's youth
Die Germanen
soooo confusing which all those tribes moving all across Europe
Israel, Palästina und der Antisemitismus. Aufsätze.
by Hannah Arendt
Wagenbach Taschenbuch. Hannah Arendt's essays are extremely insightful. She was an outstanding woman. Really got to read more by her.
very fascinating book
just can repeat myself: I love the Russian literature. puzzling that an author who can write such wonderful novels, focussed mainly on poems (of which I haven't read any yet).
a classic
