Das erste Buch aus der #Bücherwabe ist „Ferdinand der Stier“. Es erschien 1936 und war radikal bzgl. seines Verständnisses von Männlichkeit und dem hohen Wert von Individualität. Auffällig ist, dass Ferdinand nie Teil einer Gesellschaft ist. Er ist der glückliche Außenseiter, der nicht kämpfen will, sondern viel lieber (allein) an Blumen riecht.
Ferdinands Pazifismus bleibt für ihn folgenlos, ganz im Gegenteil zu dem Buch, das wir als nächstes vorstellen. #books #literatur #politik #chemnitz

Leave the Internet Archive alone!
Except for book publishers, the Internet Archive has done no one any harm. But that hasn't stopped hackers from beating up on the site over and over again.

Hello, happy Thursday, Fediverse friends! Over the past few days, I've been dealing with a slight fever and took the opportunity to dive into some good books. The latest one is a re-read that never fails to move me: "The Art of Racing in the Rain" by Garth Stein. If you haven't picked it up yet, I highly recommend it. #Books #Recommendation #TheArtofRacingintheRain #GarthStein #Reading #ThrowbackThursday

So, the start of a new books thread for 2025...Martha Wells & Shauna Lawless were both superb in very different ways. I highly recommend them. Mark Hayden was on fine form with Eight Kings, too. TJ Klune's Wolfsong wasn't far off 5⭐️ but not quite there.

In November 1887.

Seit November ist unser Buchladen ganz schön gewachsen. Deswegen müssen wir heute ein paar Schränke neu arrangieren. Gar nicht so einfach für uns Quereinsteiger. 😅 Seht ihr Bücher die Euch besonders gefallen haben, oder die ihr unbedingt noch lesen wollt. Gibt es Bücher die wir unbedingt noch dahaben sollten?
Liebe Grüße aus #chemnitz
