J., back from the dead, took the weekend off from the hospital where he’s going through rehabilitation and shared with us the most outrageous stories about his accident and his hospital’s roommates at Gabriel cafe. My eyes were wide open with astonishment throughout our often amusing, mostly unbelievable conversation. "You just HAVE to write a book", I kept imploring him (Back From the Dead ?!).

Sebastian Haffner: Defying Hitler: A Memoir
A VERY important book. Autobiographical notes written by an Aryan German describing the rise of Nazism from a (seemingly) insider’s point of view. An incredible insight into the nature of us, humans, that raises countless questions. Would we resist too?Marjane Satrapi : Persepolis : The Story of a Childhood
A wonderful autobiographical graphic novel about growing up in Iran during the Islamic revolution. Reading it was a unique experience for me.W. G. Sebald: Austerlitz
A masterpiece.
