Enjoy my newest lit series, ‘Reading the World’, in an attempt to diversify your own reading and broaden horizons, I have included a mix of genres. Sensitive topics often lie ahead as history, social and political issues are usually the centre of this writing. Enjoy!

This is the compendium of books from the 2012 edition.

Incomplete list of texts largely originally written in the German language considered foundational works of the 20th century, mostly by authors or expats from Germany, Austria, the Czech Republic, and their antecedents. Partially personalized, naturally. Modernist/postmodernist; stylistically varied; weighed down by history, memory, and institutions; sometimes ironic, comic, or melancholic, or all three at once; atmospheric, psychological and/or philosophical. Pre/post-catastrophic humanism.
