Well, seems I have no chance before vacation to write almost ANY review. The hardship of all my recent business trips, very long stay in Paris, super-short in Vienna and so much work, makes me dumb on my own blog...
So just to tell you — my backlog piles up (because I still read (or rather: listen to) like crazy) — I recently added to it:
„Neither Here Nor There: Travels in Europe” by Bill Bryson.
„Always On” by Brian Chen — the great book about social and business ramifications of iPhone revolution.
„The Estate” by Isaac Beshevis Singer — enchanting story about life in Jewish-Polish communities in Warsaw at the end of XIX century,
„The Painted Veil" by W. Somerset Maugham — the book that was used to make the movie under the same title — truly great prose...
Cheers :-)
