I just moved and I have to sort in my books. Anybody got some nice inspiration?

Taxi Gourmet

Taxi Gourmet is a blog by Layne Mosler. She wrote a book about her adventures traveling from Buenos Aires to New York to Berlin. It is called Driving hungry. It is quite an adventurous story. I can’t say too much, because it would spoil the first 50 to 100 pages. So I am just gonna say that Mosler tries to find something in Buenos Aires. Possibly her love and dancing. But she realizes that Tango isn’t something she is born to do. So she tries to get settled in NYC, which isn’t quite perfect as well. Finally she visits Berlin in the summer and finds what she’s been looking for.

Since I am from Berlin it was fun reading about her adventures in the third part. I bet for everyone from either of these three cities this book is great. However, everyone can fall in love with Mosler’s journey.

I read the German version. I wish though, I had read the English one. Sometimes there are German words explained in German because Mosler doesn’t speak that language, but English only. This is sadly something caused by translation (and I think the translator did a great job). That’s why I’d recommend getting the English version, because I think you’d read the book a lot smoother.

The Introvert’s Way

This was the title of my tenth book by Sophia Dembling. It really was a book about Introverts and an introvert lifestyle. 

I actually believed I was an extrovert until I was like 17 or 18 - not long ago. Since then a lot of things have changed. I’ve become more and more silent and so much better at listening to what people are saying or telling me. I love to listen. I love to just listen to a good conversation without just putting any effort into it. I love to learn new things and it’s an amazing way of doing so while listening to other opinions. Also I love to read, but I think I’ve made my point about that already.

Anyway.

That book I read last week was about us Introverts (I believe most people online actually are introverts, which is amazing because, hey, now we’ve got a great way of communication without actually suffocating the dreading way of actually talking). It’s about how we usually hate parties (except for any animal creature sitting in a corner) or about sports that are just for us, where we can think. I also learned that being a kind of slow thinker is a good thing. Because we think about it so deeply that it just needs some time to actually be processed in our brains.

However, she always said (at least in this German version I read [which I hope was translated correctly so I won’t talk bullshit here]) that shyness was a negative thing. It seemed to me as though she wanted to explain shyness, but actually described Social Anxiety. As someone who does suffer from Social Anxiety it was a little bit confusing, irritating and even slightly offensive. But that was the only negative thing, really.

This book is great for anyone, whose an introvert or thinks he*she might be. I wouldn’t recommend it to extroverted people, because Dembling usually talks about “us as introverts”. It could irritating, I guess.

This is the link to the English Version.

A Quick Start

Just recently I started to read a book per week. I was inspired by John Fish, one very great and talented YouTuber (you should clearly check him out). That was about ten weeks ago. I decided to challenge myself. One because I really loved to read when I was younger. And also because I think reading is a great way to escape from this real and mostly terrifying world. It’s also a great method to cope with mental health issues (seriously, who isn’t a little bit crazy, really?). I’m gonna try and review some of the books I’m reading, because I hope for some people to find new stuff to read. However, I read in German and English. I’ll try to put a link to both copies (if they exist in both languages) afterwards.

Really people, we have to read more books, they are awesome. Just as you are.
