Das Buch, das mich aktuell beglückt: "Alle_Zeit" von Teresa Bücker, in dem sie der Frage nachgeht, was Zeitwohlstand ist und wie eine Gesellschaft aussehen könnte, in der eine gerechtere Zeitkultur herrscht. Zahlengestützte Analysen mit queer-feministischer Perspektive und eine verbindende Lösungsorientierung geben mir bei jeder Lesesitzung wieder neuen Mut und Inspiration. Große Empfehlung!

Das Buchcover einer Ausgabe von Teresa Bückers "Alle_Zeit - Eine Frage von Macht und Freiheit". Im oberen Viertel prangt der orangene Titel in großer Serifenschrift auf lavendelfarbenem Grund. Auf den unteren drei Vierteln sind die Farben invertiert, Untertitel, Autorin und das Logo des ullstein-Verlags stehen in Serifenschrift lavendelfarben auf orangenem Grund. Ein Aufkleber zeichnet das Buch als SPIEGEL Bestseller aus.

One of several honesty booksellers in Hay-on-Wye, Wales

‘Hay-on-Wye is a destination for bibliophiles in the United Kingdom, with two dozen bookshops, many selling specialist and second-hand books… Richard Booth opened his first shop there, called The Old Fire Station, in 1962… by the 1970s Hay had gained the nickname "The Town of Books".’ en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hay-on-W

A window completely full of books. Any gaps between the eight piles of books have been filled with more books. Most books have their spines horizontal, but some are vertical. 

White stencil lettering on the window reads INTERNATIONAL CONTAINER RECEPTION.

Ultimately, humanity faces a grave danger: the loss of existence and extinction. Everything will be replaced by machines operating with algorithms that rely on quantitative data, devoid of human cognition.

I moved up to 3rd in line at the library for "Theo of Golden"! I think this is the longest I have ever waited for a book.

My Name is Red
Novel by Orhan Pamuk

The Nobel Prize winner and one of today's most prominent contemporary Turkish writers delivers a novel that is a fiendishly devious mystery, a beguiling love story, a brilliant symposium on the power of art, and a “modern classic … rich and essential”

Felt a tiny bit sad today, it will be our last ever #WorldBookDay where the kids dress up.

Yes, it’s always stressful, but my two discuss, plan and make their costumes weeks in advance. And they do base them on characters from books they’ve read, not films.

So today they set off as Molly from Lottie Brook’s series and Moomintroll.

I’d like schools to have more reading for fun time all year round.
