This is a list of books that I have read or am currently reading and organized chronologically.

Some books I am waiting for (paperback) release:
Hotel Lucky Seven by Kotaro Isaka
In the Service of the Shogun by Frederik Cryns

Some books that are on my bookshelf in the queue:
Mr. Churchill in the White House by Robert Schmuhl
Helgoland by Carlo Rovelli

(Some of my) Favorites
Endurance by Alfred Lansing:
Men wanted for hazardous journey. Low wages, bitter cold, long hours of complete darkness. Safe return doubtful. Honour and recognition in event of success. Epic.

Musashi by Eiji Yoshikawa:
Better than Clavell’s Shogun. The dual on Ganryu Island is worth the wait.

The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams:
Yes, the answer to life, the universe and everything is 42. Don’t forget your towel.
