books 2009
I almost never write reviews (I change then 2010), I thought I'd try a few words about each book to find ... If that is too long, can also look at the list of good reads:

Nu 'but going on:
Riddles of Existence - A Guided Tour to Metaphysics
Very nice, casual introduction to metaphysics. While one of the authors of the humor, you have to laugh a lot.
The Nazi and the Barber - E. Hilsenrath
plays a very different view of the Third Reich, perhaps a little severe, perhaps because of it good. Somehow, I find there is always this term "the banality of evil" one.
Romulus the Great, The visit of the old lady, looking Greek Greek; Suspicion - F. Dürrenmatt
I was this year a great fan of Dürrenmatt. "Suspicion" I liked best. Said ... ne were already all good.
Of Mice And Men - Steinbeck J.
Banal, awesome.
Not just for Christmas, The Lost Honour of Katharina Blum, The train was on time - H. Böll
Böll's short stories to be excellent, his novels are already good ...
No Place on Earth, accident - Christa Wolf
One of the best discoveries: Christa Wolf. (Stupid, I have done it last year not to read the last 3 pages of "The Quest for Christa T." ... ;-))
The Soul of Man Under Socialism - O. Wilde
"Just" a paper, but quite appropriate.
with Kant on the road saw the stupidity - HJ. Neubauer
casual introduction to Kant's work
The Black Obelisk. time to live and die in time;; history of late night The youth of Lisbon - EM Remarque
I do not know if I could recommend the books directly. They are not hard to read, I actually like the style very much. But ... hm.
I am Tobias, brother fire, the glass rings; The Scapegoat - Luise Rinser
Another great discovery. In particular, "I'm Tom" and "Brother Fire". Interestingly style
shells in my hand - AM Lindbergh
And in between, very beautiful and uplifting.
Beneath the Wheel, Demian; stories - Hesse
"Beneath the Wheel" - for me, very moving. "Demian" one of the best books ...
The Stranger - A. Camus
I found good.
In the Matter of J. Robert Oppenheimer - H. Kipphardt
frightening.
fear and misery of the Third Reich, Mother Courage and Her Children - Bertolt Brecht
The reason why I've made friends with Brecht.
A Midsummer Night's Dream - William Shakespeare
Entertaining.
German Lesson - Lenz
Interesting, but not "the" hit.
spoke, Golem - Lem
Futuristic, good.
Penguin Book of English Short Stories
Have I already mentioned, I'm on short stories? The composition of any event I found good.
Poincare conjecture. The story of a mathematical adventure
drawn and sometimes maybe a bit of pure layman may not soo suitable. (. Pure amateur = almost never what the hat had with math, but would then want to read such a book ... Um, yes?).
North and South - E. Glaskell
Beautiful! And I always thought I's size: not love stories. Where could it the "drumrum" lie.
politics as a vocation - Max Weber
I found interesting and somewhere building.
The Ringmaster, through a glass darkly - J. Gaarder
beautiful, philosophical tale. I still do not understand just why he was replaced by "Sophie's World" was so successful ...
Who I am - and if so, how many? - RD Precht
Can read well, are certainly a few good suggestions here, but ... mh.
The Mother Tongue - English and How It Got That Way - B. Bryson
Very amusing! And informative! "Fuck" is probably from the Germanic. Now you may think of what word. (Of course, in it are also more meaningful things, but the chapter on cursing, I found it really good.)
The Jews Beech A. von Droste-Hülshoff
Good!
Aquis submersus - T. Storm
exciting!
Antigone - Sophocles
Okay.
Dream Story - A. Schnitzler
you!
Meditations on First Philosophy - R. Descartes
Can read well and is interesting, we are interested in more detail in philosophy.
emasculation - Christa Reinig
No comment (possible?) - But not bad it was. Very ... own.
The youth of Henri Quatre - Heinrich Mann
Pretty.
She Came to Stay - Simone de Beauvoir
somehow violent.
Groundwork of the Metaphysics of Morals - Kant
Can not much to say ...
Tonio Kröger / Mario and the Magician - Thomas Mann
I found very well described.
Stiller, Biedermann and the Arsonists, Homo Faber - Max Frisch
out to me again like all good ... but those are books that you read for yourself, to not comment soo suitable.
Fabian. The story of a moralist - Kästner
Not bad.
empire; Fatherland - Robert Harris
Yes, mh, hard to say. "Imperium" I was better than "fatherland". Of the latter I would have expected more.
time of maturity - Sartre
I really like anything by Sartre, am biased because ...
food for thought 2009: A reader in philosophy, culture and science
Did I get a gift and was so well to read quite well, I'd buy's not now.
professional philosopher or the love of the world. The life story of Hannah Arendt
title is self explanatory.
The Great Gatsby - F. Scott Fitzgerald
I soon found the style better than the content ... ?
Grim Tuesday - G. Nix
Um, yes, if you like the series ...
Fahrenheit 451 - Ray Bradburry
re scary, but good.
Crime and Punishment - Dostoevsky
Not bad, but are of Dostoevsky's better.
over evil. A lecture on ethics issues - Hannah Arendt
A very interesting "study" with respect to the Third Reich.
The Reader - B. Schlink
all okay.
make history - Stephen Fry
A little disappointing.
Iphigenia in Tauren - Euripides
Well.
The school friend - JM Simmel
good.
In our time - Hemmingway
I think in English reads it better ...
Great moments of humanity, Beware of Pity - S. Zweig
Fascinating - can affect how a moment of humanity. The novel was, however sometimes a bit lengthy.
Philosopher - P. Prange
If you get's a gift, is it good. ;-)
No & I - Delphine de Vigan
Was very nice for 'nen evening.
Youth Without God - Ö. of Horvarth
re scary, but good.
Mephisto - Klaus Mann
was hoping for any more.
The Revolt of the Fishermen of St. Barbara - Anna Seghers
Good! Interesting! Worth reading.
Jesus loves me - D. Safier
somehow very sweet now, I'd's not.
Dubliners - J. Joyce
part, partly.
Candide or Optimism - Voltaire
just remember it only vaguely, but I believe that it was not bad ...
Dear Osama - C. Cleave
The idea was good, the writing style is always flat ...
That's but honestly was not. I've read something by Sartre, Short stories by Dostoevsky and some stuff from Molière ... must look at home what it was, I'm not sure grad. Of Sartre's was at least "The Childhood of a boss" and "The Wall", but there was still 'ne story with it ...
