The second book in the Discworld series. A continuation of the advantures of well known wizard Rincewind.

Unfortunately I am still waiting for it’s delivery… since the first time it was sent to me, it ended up at some mysterious Mrs. or Mr. Grtjber’s place (according to Amazon) … as you might guess from the name its a neighbour I do not really have …
Since there also doesn’t seem to be real person behind this name wanting to hand over the parcel to me, I am now waiting for an replacement …

More to read as soon as I get it and finish reading… ;-)

[Update]

I am done … and it’s been another great pleasure! Or to sum up in other words: I’m gonna buy the next one too!

Another book done… This time a classic from Terry Pratchett: The first Discworld novel “The Colour of Magic”. Funny story about a wizard and a tourist along with it’s living luggage experiencing all sorts of things except the expected.
Some sort of fantasy novel as you might have guessed already…

Another post about a book… which is unfortunately a German-only book again!
Its about a guy who never really got into his life facing the German bureaucracy… ;-)
Short novel thats fun to read!

Please don’t be shocked, but yes this is arleady the second post about a book in kind a short time (at least for normal Sascha-like behaviour)…
The Encyclopedia of the Unknowingness, unfortunately only available in German (“Lexikon des Unwissens”) so far, tries to describe several of today’s unsolved miracles.
It gives an introduction to subjects like the lifecycle of eels, dark matter, yawning, ball-lightnings, the functionality of sticky tape, the Riemann hypothesis, and many more…
A bit too many “funny” comments in my opinion though… otherwise very interesting!

In the same manner as I use to comment movies I’ve seen I am gonna start it for books now, even though this will happen by far less often.
Anyway… During my holidays in Greece I read a book written by Daniel Kehlmann called “Measuring the World”.
It’s I nice book about Mr. Gauss (the one with the distribution, etc.) and Mr. Humboldt (the brother of the founder of my university) that Troels recommended to read.
It’s originally a German book, that’s why the picture/link is German. For all others heres the English link even though it’s on the German Amazon.
