Came over from Goodreads. "Language read" of read books is not always correct. Maybe I correct it later. From 01/2024 I will enter all new books correctly.
(I read in German, English and Norwegian)

Oh well - addictive?
5 stars
I was close giving it only four stars time, thinking "come on, Matthew, you can't be serious?". But the last 200 pages were again so brilliant and thrilling, that five stars are the obvious choice.

Great "roadmovie" with a little touch of kitsch towards the end. Recommended!

"easy" reading, but a very promising start...
Loeffle rated Das Glück des Wolfes: 5 stars
Das Glück des Wolfes by Paolo Cognetti
A wonderful novel, or maybe better many short stories combined into a novel. It's about life in a remote mountain …
Loeffle started reading Ein Jahr voller Wunder by Clemency Burton-Hill
This is like a calendar containing 365 works of music, so it's going to take some time.
Loeffle reviewed Hard Land by Benedict Wells
Tschick? Wells writes the better coming of age novel IMHO
5 stars
Wells quickly turning into one of my favourite authors. Combining the topics of death and coming of age; while adding some stuff from his own biography and describing a declining city in Missouri, very atmospheric and detailed. And even if I didn't come out of age in the Eighties, I can identify with the main character in many aspects.
Loeffle finished reading Hard Land by Benedict Wells
Great start to the reading year!

Final part of the brilliant Matthew Shardlake series. Happy my bookdealer was able to get a copy for me as it seemed to be not in stock at most dealers in Germany.
Loeffle wants to read Die Aschenbrennerin by Birgit Hermann
A work by a local author from the Black Forest. Perhaps not that interesting if you don't know the area, but the author does a decent in bringing up historical facts and mixing them with fictional crime. Only available in German.
