Gelesen Dezember 2013

* Danielle Trussoni, Angelology (Well, the title tells it all. Angelology. Although better written a Dan Brown clone with the addition of angels. Bad angels that is.)
* Kurt Geisler, Küstengold (Regionalkrimi, hier geht ja nix ohne Fortsetzungen. Im Prinzip gilt das Gleiche wie für den Vorgänger. Und das mit den Autonomen hätte man ruhig ein bisschen besser recherchieren können.)
* Kurt Geisler, Friesenschnee (Regionalkrimi, eigentlich ganz unterhaltsam, aber die ganze Story geht so komplett an üblichen Dienstwegen und Praxis vorbei, das es im manchmal nervtötend detailliert beschriebenen Norddeutschland unglaubwürdig wirkt. Und das Frauenbild ist auch eher altbacken.)
* Diana Palmer, Dangerous (Crime novel with romantic parts and so conservativ it made me angry. Besides that, the story is poor, the characters onedimensional and the general entertainment factor zero.)
* Terry Pratchett, Das Mitternachtskleid (Zum erstenmal seit langem wieder ein Pratchett, wie immer eine lustige, unterhaltsame Geschichte, aber inzwischen auch nix Neues mehr.)
* Geoff Berner, Festival Man (The chaotic, speed- and alcohol driven lament of a manager in the folk music business. Well, he overdid some things and acted not always within the corridor of accepted behaviour of the civil society, but it's nevertheless every entertaining read. And it makes Geoff Berner's drinking songs look sober. [Additionally the book comes with the free download of an album full of coverversions from Berner's songs.])
* Robert Paisley, Galactic Pinball (Stupid Sci-Fi.)
* Marge Piercy, Woman on the Edge of Time (Partly a [not only] feminist social utopian Sci-Fi, partly a bitter history of a woman, that got hospitalized against her will and can't do anything about it because she is a poor female person of mexican origin. She fights, but can't win. There's also a short view in a not so nice future. In total a great book.)
