[in English: Here’s a list of my 250 top novels and nonfiction books.]
.
„Was sind die besten – deutschsprachigen und internationalen – Bücher?“
„Welchen Romanen wünscht du möglichst viele Leser?“
Für BELLA triste – Zeitschrift für junge deutschsprachige Literatur (Link) erstellte ich im Herbst 2011 eine Liste mit den 250 besten Büchern (von ca. 1600), die ich gelesen habe.
Romane und Sachbücher. Deutsche und internationale Titel.
Kein Ranking, keine – in Stein gehauene, ehrwürdige – Bestenliste.
…doch hätte ich eine Buchhandlung – DIESE Bücher lägen in hohen Stapeln auf dem großen, freundlichen Tisch in der Mitte des Raumes.
Hier meine Empfehlungen! Viel Spaß!
