Wau, amtlich: Herwart Holland-Moritz, Hacker, Mitbegründer des Chaos Computer Clubs (CCC) und sozialer Visionär, starb …
After not having the capacity for reading books in a while, this is a nice one to come back from it. Some light stories painting a picture, helping me understand the CCC and its history a bit better.
Gosh these look gorgeous. Can’t wait to read them.
Metropolis is a 1925 science fiction novel by the German writer Thea von Harbou. The …
I got this one since I remember I liked the movie but don’t remember too much from it (I had to watch it in episodes since it requires attention over a long timespan). I didn’t think of maybe getting the original German language, which would be my native language as well. The translation shows how old the text is and it’s hard to stop myself from trying to translate into what I think the original text could have been in my head while reading it, feels like the translation is close to a word-by-word one. So yeah, this is gonna be exhausting as well, but I’m still gonna try and see how far I’ll make it :)

Sequel to The Three-Body Problem.
I enjoy the ideas the author is playing around with, but I don’t enjoy the way he does it very much. It feels drawn out but somehow still feels like a few things have been left open. I lack the words to describe this any better.
But I like the story well enough to continue reading the series, but maybe not immediately after finishing this ;)
Sequel to The Three-Body Problem.
Well, that was underwhelming. I don’t enjoy the writing style very much but I still want to finish the series, so I think I’m going to read another story in between. The last book is even thicker than the first two and I imagine it will take me some will power to get through it. But who knows.

Let’s see where this goes. I’m probably gonna take a while reading this, occasionally reading some essays in between other books. Plus I think I wanna take good notes on that one (although there seem to be bullet points with core takeaways prepared already).

“My tales of starting, building, and selling CD Baby, compressed into an …
It’s a pretty interesting perspective on entrepreneurship and ideas of building a business. Derek is an outlier in many things here, so it might be useful for entrepreneurs-to-be to get some ideas that are out of the norm. Plus it’s a short read; each article usually has 1-3 pages, so it can be used as a small reference as well.

I didn’t get very much from reading this. Any advice given seems either super specific to one of the mediator’s situations, or like a super generic list of virtues anybody ought to profit from.
Maybe I was just the wrong audience for it and didn’t get it—it’s short enough to find out yourself—but for me it didn’t do much at all.
