Thirteen Things about Juliadamus
I'm a dedicated book-lover! I've always been and I always will be. In this weeks TT I will show you my favourite books/authors. Some of them influenced me as a child, others are current reading. I hope you enjoy the list, and maybe I can inspire you to read one or two of theese books ;)
13. "The Complete Brothers Grimm Fairy Tales" by Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm
I guess everybody knows this one, and for those who don't: I'm sorry folks, but Snow White is not an original Disney-product ;)
12. "The Neverending Story" and "Momo" by Michael Ende
Both stories are classics of childhood-literature, at least in Germany.
11. "Mister God, This is Anna" by Fynn
This book not only provides answers to the big questions in life, it also provides the questions!
10. "Animal Farm" and "1984" by George Orwell
Big Brother is watching you!
9. "The Wizard of Oz" by L.F. Baum
We're off, to see the wizard! The wonderful wizard of Oz!
8. "Look Back, Mrs. Lot" and all the other books by Ephraim Kishon
Kishon writes short stories about the life of an jewish author married to "the best wife in the world". His wit and sarcasm, make me laugh out loud everytime!
7. "The Secret Diary of Adrian Mole, Aged 13 3/4" by Sue Townsend
Simply hilarious, english humor. And so true!
6. "Good Omens" by Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett
The book is subtitled "The Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch". It's the mixture between Pratchetts imaginative writing and the spell-binding power of Gaiman's plot.
5. "Alice in Wonderland" by Lewis Carroll
I looovee the Mad Hatter!
4. "American Gods" by Neil Gaiman
The final showdown between the old gods, brought to America by all the different immigrants (including Thor, Leprechauns and the egyptian cat-godess Bask), and the new gods, created through our daily worshipping (yes, ther's a TV-God, think about it!). The perfect book for long winter-evenings on the couch!
3. "A Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy" a Trilogy in five books by Douglas Adams
So true, so funny and simply one of the best books in the world!!! Favourite character: Marvin the depressed robot!
2. "Soul Music" and all other Discworl-novels by Terry Pratchett!
Terry Pratchett invented the Discworld, to hold a mirror up to our faces. Although settled in a world full of myth and magic, parallels are quite obvious. And btw it's hilariously funny written!
1."Ronia, The Robber's Daughter" by Astrid Lindgren
I don't remember how often I've read this book as a child. But it influenced me a lot. It's about strength, friendship, bravery and raising your voice for what is right. And all this from a girl's point of view!
Ooops! Do I have 13 already? Oh there's so much more but that gives me opportunity to write another TT about my favourite books ;)
Hope you enjoyed the list, I'm looking forward to your feedback!
