"Top Ten Tuesday" is an original feature/weekly meme created on the blog "The Broke and the Bookish". It was created because they are particularly fond of lists. It is now hosted by Jana from That Artsy Reader Girl.
Since I am just as fond of them as they are, I jump at the chance to share my lists with them! Have a look at their page, there are lots of other bloggers who share their lists here.
Wells, Benedict "The End of Loneliness" (GE: Vom Ende der Einsamkeit) - 2016
Zeh, Juli "The Method" (GE: Corpus Delicti. Ein Prozess) - 2009
This week's topic is Authors. A while ago, I made a list of many of my favourite authors (see here) and could easily choose ten of them. But I thought it would be more fun to present some German authors. I think everyone knows that I love authors like Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, Günter Grass, Thomas Mann, but I thought I'd introduce you to some contemporary German authors that are all worth reading. Not all of their books have been translated but there is at least one from all of them.
Menasse, Robert "The Capital" (GE: Die Hauptstadt) - 2017
Orth, Stephan (German reviews) "Couchsurfing in Russia: Friendships and Misadventures Behind Putin’s Curtain" (GE: Couchsurfing in Russland. Wie ich fast zum Putin-Versteher wurde) - 2017
Precht, Richard David "Who Am I and If So, How Many?" (GE: Wer bin ich und wenn ja, wie viele?) - 2007
Precht, Richard David "Who Am I and If So, How Many?" (GE: Wer bin ich und wenn ja, wie viele?) - 2007
Sendker, Jan-Philipp "The Art of Hearing Heartbeats" (Burma Trilogy # 1) (GE: Das Herzenhören) - 2002
Wells, Benedict "The End of Loneliness" (GE: Vom Ende der Einsamkeit) - 2016
Zeh, Juli "The Method" (GE: Corpus Delicti. Ein Prozess) - 2009
A couple of years ago, I have done a list of German authors that did include classics (see here).
I would have loved to include some other great contemporary authors but - unfortunately - many of them have not been translated into English.
📚Happy Reading 📚
