Bram Stoker: Dracula

So, this is a random cover. Sorry.

Day 3
this time an autobiography
Many recognize the surname
Some know that he was also politically active
Manfred Rommel
Despite everything cheerful
When I was about 20 years old, I was very interested in how a man with a heavy historical name dealt with such a past

Let me start finally with Day one....
I've been very impressed with everything you've posted so far.... Thank you
Don't expect as great stuff as you guys have had
I'll never get there.... That's what it means to know yourself and your limits 😂

It is through the interaction with others that we achieve to transcend the bubble that limits our personal growth.
I found this extravagant copy of "#TheMasterAndMargarita" by Soviet writer #MikhailBulgakov at a friend's house. I can't read it, but each...

Ich hatte mal einen akademischen Streit mit Manfred Spitzer während einer Podiumsdiskussion. Er meinte, mein Gehirn hätte sich immer schon entschieden, bevor mein Verstand etwas äußert, daher sei "freier Wille" immer präformiert. Darauf stand ich auf, holte eine Münze aus der Tasche und sagte:"Ich werfe und ich entscheide, wenn Kopf erscheint, Ihrer Ansicht zu folgen, wenn Zahl erscheint nicht."

Day 12
Global 2000
Commissioned in 1977 by Jimmy Carter, published in 1980
A true eye-opener for me.
Should have been mandatory in every secondary school curriculum since then.

Day 11
Herman Melville: Moby Dick
A book that needs no introduction.
When I first started to read it, I felt a certain reluctance. Usually, I never have issues stepping into the protagonist's shoes. With Ismael, I struggled at first, because of his profession (not his original one: teacher), but

Day 10 (half time)
Julio Cortázar: Final del juego [End of the Game]
Outside of Latin America, J. Cortázar is less known than, say, Gabriel García Márquez or Jorge Luis Borges, but he is certainly one of the most influential authors of a continent so rich in great writers.
This is the first book by

You may have noticed that I completely ignore the original "challenge to choose 20 books that greatly influenced you. One book per day, for 20 days. No explanations, no reviews, just covers".
It's just that I am a compulsory talker, and I cannot against my very nature.
On the other hand: I also enjoy other people's posts with pic & text far more than those with just the cover pics or even just author and title.
So: not feeling sorry.
Day 8
L.S. Hilton: Maestra
I grabbed this once in Heathrow waiting for a delayed flight, because I liked the cover.
"But Mina", you might say, "how could you call a common woman's revenge story with sex scenes, situated between the art business and gold diggers, a book that influenced you?"
Wait!

Day 7
Greg Egan: Luminous
Originally, I planned to present a different book today, but, as #SciFi, ethics and related topics are currently already on the table, it is probably the right moment to speak about my, by far, favourite author of truly contemporary SF @gregeganSF
The book is a selection

Day 6
Mark Brandis: Raumsonde Epsilon
My first deep dive into Science Fiction.
This is the first of a series of more than 30 novels aimed at a youthful audience, which were hugely popular in Germany during the 70s and 80s.

Day 5
First non fiction in my list.
Norbert Wiener: Mathematik - Mein Leben (original title: I am a Mathematician)
I don't think, it's possible to overstate the influence, this book had on my life.
When I got it from my grandpa, I thought "This looks boring, and who is this guy, anyway?",
