I'm not so sure whether the numbers of pages are a good indicator for the reading time. So have I still not finished the the book "Zwergenblut" even after several month although it has less than a third of pages of your book. Somehow I can't force myself to read further. Maybe because I still know a bit how itends although it was a while since I read it the first time.

Article: "Interview mit dem Programmdirektor des deutsch-franzoesischen Senders ARTE - mit Bezug zu den als fragwuerdig betrachteten Putin vs. USA-Sendungen" by Ulrike Sumfleth
An interview with ARTE's programme director about the questionable Putin vs USA broadcasts.

Not perfect indicator, for sure, but we do not have anything else, do we? :) Brandstaetter seems to have standard density and number of pages does not have to be multiplied to get a real length factor ;) Nice, old-school reading so far.

Through the book away and go to the next one. Life's too short!

Just started to read Die amerikanische Elite by Charles Wright Mills.
It's the German translation of the book The Power Elite.

About a study by the Stanford University that conspiracy theorists are right in 8 of 10 cases and how the people react to that study. No sure how serious this is.

Winter World - post-apo comic book series with a lot of snow.
Reading second issue atm. It seems I've bought it from Humble.

Finished reading my first book of 2018, this Italian edition of Emile Zola's Germinal. 4/5

Ursule Mirouët by Balzac.

I just found out that "Metro 2033" is based on a book.

Anyone here read it? You opinions?

Of course not. Is it worth watching?
I totally lost interest hope for cinema a few years ago...

Yup. It also has sequels. And a whole series of books in the same universe. It's written by Russian author and very popular Eastern Europe, also in Poland (a few Polish authors written books under the "brand").

But Metro is rather mediocre. As a fan of post-apocalyptic books I can probably recommend a lot of better readings.

I personally was a little disappointed, but I'm in the minority. The premise is brilliant and, to an extent, the movie does follow through with it, I just felt it got a little too "Die Hard" at times. It's worth watching just for the plot and how they follow through with it. It's also an amazing looking movie.
