Friday Post

I am on my second coffee for the day and I do believe its time for a post about that there reading list. I am currently reading Phillip K. Dick´s novel Ubik, which is probably going to take me until Wednesday at the earliest to finish. The story seems fantastic, but I am just not in the reading mood today. I still haven’t gotten a shot at the Franzen novel which I am guessing has to do with the amount of people trying to read it and I just didn’t get to my reservation fast enough. What will probably happen now is that because I have heard so much about the book, I won’t enjoy it and secondly I probably know too much about the story. Here is the reading list with one new addition:


1. Der Kleine Brüder by Sven Regener (finished)

2. The Witches of Eastwick by John Updike (finished)

3. The Handmaid´s Tale by Margaret Atwood (finished)

4. Freedom by Jonathan Franzen (considering buying this after all the reviews it got)

5. Eating Animals by Jonathan Safran Foer (non-fiction)

6. The Man in the High Castle by Philip K. Dick (orig. Flow my Tears, the Policeman Said)

7. The 158-Pound Marriage by John Irving (finished)

8. Going After Cacciato by Tim O´Brien

9. The Green House by Mario Vargas Lhosa

10. Grimms Wörter by Günter Grass

11. Wait Until Spring, Bandini by John Fante (finished)

12. Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep by Philip K. Dick(finished)

13. Ubik by Philip K. Dick

14. The Stigmata of Palmer Eldritch by Philip K. Dick (finished)

15. Porno by Irvine Welsh (finished)


So I finally got around to reading the sequel to Trainspotting, which I consider to be Mr. Welsh’s best novel to date. All in all I am not so impressed. I will admit it was entertaining and all that, but it was quite a departure from the original. By that I mean that Trainspotting was a fantastic story told through remarkable characters, while Porno was the same characters but nine years older and without a great story. Hard but fair.


Tonight I am having dinner with some friends at Lei e Lui in Mitte. It’s the same restaurant that catered my wedding. The food is always fantastic and I am looking forward to great food and seeing good friends. Hopefully I will take some photos.
