I’ve been quite busy this past week so still reading The Seven Moons of Maali Almeida and listening to Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents. Both are excellent!

    I’m on my first book in German! I have been studying the language for a while, but I finally went for it. Progress is slow, and quite some details are literally lost in translation, but I am enjoying “the judge and his executioner” by Duerenmatt.

      Reading a book in another language is a impressive feat especially if its your first time! You should be proud of yourself. I’m extremely jealous with all the literary possibilities you have opened yourself to

      The first time is always hard, but it’s a neat feeling, isn’t it? I don’t even really mind that I don’t understand everything. I’m just happy I can understand something.

      Duerrnmatt has some things that could make it challenging for a first read, too. But there’s so much fun stuff to read in German.
