]]> 54911607 here.

It's the wedding of the year. But someone won't survive it.

On a remote island off the coast of Ireland, guests gather to celebrate the wedding of Jules Keegan and Will Slater. Will is a rising television star, handsome and charming. Jules is a smart, ambitious magazine publisher. Though the sea is a little choppy and the cell service spotty, their wedding is everything you'd expect of a young power couple: designer dress, four-tiered cake, boutique whiskey, vintage champagne. Every detail has been curated to perfection. All that's left to orchestrate is the happiness.

But perfection is for plans, and people are all too human. It's not long after the cake is cut and the champagne popped that resentments and petty jealousies come out. Worse yet, the latest barometer reading shows the weather has shifted from FAIR to CHANGEABLE, and dark clouds are looming overhead.

Everyone on the island has a secret. Everyone has a motive. And someone won't leave this wedding alive...]]> 313 Lucy Foley 0062868934 Jack 0 3.77 2020

In 2001 Mo Gawdat realized that despite his incredible success, he was desperately unhappy. A lifelong learner, he attacked the problem as an engineer examining all the provable facts and scrupulously applying logic. Eventually, his countless hours of research and science proved successful, and he discovered the equation for permanent happiness.

Thirteen years later, Mo’s algorithm would be put to the ultimate test. After the sudden death of his son, Ali, Mo and his family turned to his equation—and it saved them from despair. In dealing with the horrible loss, Mo found his he would pull off the type of “moonshot�� goal that he and his colleagues were always aiming for—he would share his equation with the world and help as many people as possible become happier.

In Solve for Happy Mo questions some of the most fundamental aspects of our existence, shares the underlying reasons for suffering, and plots out a step-by-step process for achieving lifelong happiness and enduring contentment. He shows us how to view life through a clear lens, teaching us how to dispel the illusions that cloud our thinking; overcome the brain’s blind spots; and embrace five ultimate truths.

No matter what obstacles we face, what burdens we bear, what trials we’ve experienced, we can all be content with our present situation and optimistic about the future.]]> 368 Mo Gawdat 1501157558 Jack 0 aborted 3.95 2017

Bourne thought he had Lennon cornered in Iceland, only to have the killer escape in a fiery explosion. Now Lennon’s trail leads Bourne to New York and then to Washington �� and the body count rises with each deadly encounter.

But who is Lennon working for? Bourne believes the assassin has a shadowy new employer called the Pyramid.

lover, journalist Abbey Laurent, is digging into the mystery too, and Jason’s perilous battle against Lennon and the Pyramid will soon put Abbey in the assassin’s crosshairs.

]]> 60162230 Michael Mann, four-time-Oscar-nominated writer-director of The Last of the Mohicans, The Insider, Ali, Miami Vice, Collateral, and Heat teams up with Edgar Award–winning author Meg Gardiner to deliver Mann’s first novel, an explosive return to the universe and characters of his classic crime film—with an all-new story unfolding in the years before and after the iconic movie

One day after the end of Heat, Chris Shiherlis (Val Kilmer) is holed up in Koreatown, wounded, half delirious, and desperately trying to escape LA. Hunting him is LAPD detective Vincent Hanna (Al Pacino). Hours earlier, Hanna killed Shiherlis’s brother in arms Neil McCauley (Robert De Niro) in a gunfight under the strobe lights at the foot of an LAX runway. Now Hanna’s determined to capture or kill Shiherlis, the last survivor of McCauley’s crew, before he ghosts out of the city.

In 1988, seven years earlier, McCauley, Shiherlis, and their highline crew are taking scores on the West Coast, the US-Mexican border, and now in Chicago. Driven, daring, they’re pulling in money and living vivid lives. And Chicago homicide detective Vincent Hanna—a man unreconciled with his history—is following his calling, the pursuit of armed and dangerous men into the dark and wild places, hunting an ultraviolent gang of home invaders.

Meanwhile, the fallout from McCauley’s scores and Hanna’s pursuit cause unexpected repercussions in a parallel narrative, driving through the years following Heat.

Heat 2projects its dimensional and richly drawn men and women into whole new worlds—from the inner sanctums of rival crime syndicates in a South American free-trade zone to transnational criminal enterprises in Southeast Asia. The novel brings you intimately into these lives. In Michael Mann’s Heat universe, they will confront new adversaries in lethal circumstances beyond all boundaries.

Heat 2 is engrossing, moving, and tragic—a masterpiece of crime fiction with the same extraordinary ambitions, scope, and rich characterizations as the epic film.]]> 470 Michael Mann 0062653318 Jack 0 to-read 4.19 2022

Except that right now, he doesn't know that. He can't even remember his own name, let alone the nature of his assignment or how to complete it.

All he knows is that he's been asleep for a very, very long time. And he's just been awakened to find himself millions of miles from home, with nothing but two corpses for company.

Kirsten Raymonde will never forget the night Arthur Leander, the famous Hollywood actor, had a heart attack on stage during a production of King Lear. That was the night when a devastating flu pandemic arrived in the city, and within weeks, civilization as we know it came to an end.

Twenty years later, Kirsten moves between the settlements of the altered world with a small troupe of actors and musicians. They call themselves The Traveling Symphony, and they have dedicated themselves to keeping the remnants of art and humanity alive. But when they arrive in St. Deborah by the Water, they encounter a violent prophet who will threaten the tiny band’s existence. And as the story takes off, moving back and forth in time, and vividly depicting life before and after the pandemic, the strange twist of fate that connects them all will be revealed.]]> 333 Emily St. John Mandel 0385353308 Jack 0 to-read 4.05 2014

Jeder kann ein Held sein. Alles kann das nächste große Ding werden. Kunst ist das Gebot der Stunde und Kunst kann alles sein. Ein Schmelztiegel der selbsterklärten Widerspenstigen, die es auch gerne mal gemütlich haben, ein deutsches Kakanien in Feindesland.

Ledigt in eine Wohnung über dem Café Einfall verpflanzt wird, um Erwin Kächeles Familienplanung nicht länger im Weg zu stehen. Österreichische Aktionskünstler, ein Fernsehteam, ein ehemaliger Intimfriseurladen, eine Kettensäge, ein Kontaktbereichsbeamter, eine Kreuzberger Kunstaustellung, der Kampf um die Einkommensoptionen Putzjob und Kuchenverkauf, der Besuch einer Mutter und ein Schwangerschaftssimulator setzen eine Kette von Ereignissen in Gang, die alle ins Verderben reißen.]]> 304 Sven Regener 3869711361 Jack 0 currently-reading 3.69 2017

Was geschah mit Harriet Vanger? Während eines Familientreffens spurlos verschwunden, bleibt ihr Schicksal jahrzehntelang ungeklärt. Bis der Journalist Mikael Blomkvist und die Ermittlerin Lisbeth Salander recherchieren. Was sie zutage fördern, lässt alle Beteiligten wünschen, sie hätten sich nie mit diesem Fall beschäftigt.

An seinem 82. Geburtstag erhält der einflussreiche Industrielle Henrik Vanger per Post anonym ein Geschenk. Das Paket enthält eine gepresste Blüte hinter Glas, genau wie in den 43 Jahren zuvor. Vangers Lieblingsnichte Harriet hatte ihm 1958 zum ersten Mal dieses Geschenk gemacht, doch dann verschwand sie spurlos. Ihr Leichnam wurde nie gefunden.
In einer letzten Anstrengung beschließt Vanger herauszufinden, was dem geliebten Mädchen tatsächlich zustieß. Er engagiert den Journalisten Mikael Blomkvist, der, getarnt als Biograf, bald auf erste Spuren stößt. Unterstützt wird er von der jungen Ermittlerin Lisbeth Salander, einem virtuosen Computergenie mit messerscharfem Verstand. Je tiefer Blomkvist und Salander in der Vangerschen Familiengeschichte graben, desto grauenvoller sind ihre Enthüllungen.

Jason Dessen is walking home through the chilly Chicago streets one night, looking forward to a quiet evening in front of the fireplace with his wife, Daniela, and their son, Charlie—when his reality shatters.

"Are you happy with your life?"

Those are the last words Jason Dessen hears before the masked abductor knocks him unconscious.

Before he awakens to find himself strapped to a gurney, surrounded by strangers in hazmat suits.

Before a man Jason's never met smiles down at him and says, "Welcome back, my friend."

In this world he's woken up to, Jason's life is not the one he knows. His wife is not his wife. His son was never born. And Jason is not an ordinary college physics professor, but a celebrated genius who has achieved something remarkable. Something impossible.

Is it this world or the other that's the dream?

And even if the home he remembers is real, how can Jason possibly make it back to the family he loves? The answers lie in a journey more wondrous and horrifying than anything he could've imagined—one that will force him to confront the darkest parts of himself even as he battles a terrifying, seemingly unbeatable foe.

Dark Matter is a brilliantly plotted tale that is at once sweeping and intimate, mind-bendingly strange and profoundly human--a relentlessly surprising science-fiction thriller about choices, paths not taken, and how far we'll go to claim the lives we dream of.]]> 342 Blake Crouch 1101904224 Jack 0 to-read 4.13 2016

Except that right now, he doesn’t know that. He can’t even remember his own name, let alone the nature of his assignment or how to complete it.

All he knows is that he’s been asleep for a very, very long time. And he’s just been awakened to find himself millions of miles from home, with nothing but two corpses for company.

His crewmates dead, his memories fuzzily returning, Ryland realizes that an impossible task now confronts him. Hurtling through space on this tiny ship, it’s up to him to puzzle out an impossible scientific mystery—and conquer an extinction-level threat to our species.

And with the clock ticking down and the nearest human being light-years away, he’s got to do it all alone.

Or does he?]]> 476 Andy Weir 0593135202 Jack 0 to-read 4.49 2021

]]> 52476830 An alternative cover edition for this ISBN can be found here.

A tense, page-turning psychological drama about the making and breaking of a family–and a woman whose experience of motherhood is nothing at all what she hoped for–and everything she feared.

Blythe Connor is determined that she will be the warm, comforting mother to her new baby Violet that she herself never had.

But in the thick of motherhood’s exhausting early days, Blythe becomes convinced that something is wrong with her daughter–she doesn’t behave like most children do.

Or is it all in Blythe’s head? Her husband, Fox, says she’s imagining things. The more Fox dismisses her fears, the more Blythe begins to question her own sanity, and the more we begin to question what Blythe is telling us about her life as well.

Then their son Sam is born–and with him, Blythe has the blissful connection she’d always imagined with her child. Even Violet seems to love her little brother. But when life as they know it is changed in an instant, the devastating fall-out forces Blythe to face the truth.

The Push is a tour de force you will read in a sitting, an utterly immersive novel that will challenge everything you think you know about motherhood, about what we owe our children, and what it feels like when women are not believed.]]> 307 Ashley Audrain 1984881663 Jack 0 to-read 4.03 2021

Viktor Vinblad hat es nie einfach gehabt. Sein Vater war ein Mörder. Seine Mutter vorwiegend mit sich selbst beschäftigt. Mit neun Jahren wird er Vollwaise und lebt fortan in einer Pflegefamilie. Viktor ist hoch begabt, aber auch erschreckend wunderlich. Mit fünfzehn singt er Psalmen rückwärts und ist in der Lage, die schwierigsten mathematischen Fragen zu lösen, als er unter dramatischen Umständen aus dem zweiten Stock des Schulgebäudes fällt. Er überlebt, doch fortan ist er stumm. Dennoch schafft er es, nach der Schule eine Anstellung bei einer Bank zu bekommen. Und sogar in eine Wohngemeinschaft zieht er ein. Es ist eine seltsame Truppe verschrobener Menschen, die sich hier versammelt: Der nervöse Persson, der Statistiken liebt. Der leicht zurück gebliebene Farin, der von seinen Eltern einen großen Hof geerbt hat. Und zu guter Letzt Sara Salmodin, jüngste Tochter eines Predigers und von herzerfrischender Naivität, sowie Viktor Vinblad selbst, der geniale Außenseiter. Doch dann schlägt das Schicksal erneut zu. Sara wird ermordet ? und Viktor verschwindet spurlos. Ein Schuldeingeständnis? Als ein solches nehmen es jedenfalls Freunde, Verwandte und auch die Polizei. Wie der Vater so der Sohn, lautet das fast einhellige Credo. Aber stimmt die Vermutung auch? Oder ist Viktor ebenfalls ein Opfer?]]> 380 Håkan Nesser 3442751462 Jack 0 to-read 3.84 2004

Ranging from the now infamous village of New Dachang in the United Federation of China, where the epidemiological trail began with the twelve-year-old Patient Zero, to the unnamed northern forests where untold numbers sought a terrible and temporary refuge in the cold, to the United States of Southern Africa, where the Redeker Plan provided hope for humanity at an unspeakable price, to the west-of-the-Rockies redoubt where the North American tide finally started to turn, this invaluable chronicle reflects the full scope and duration of the Zombie War.

Most of all, the book captures with haunting immediacy the human dimension of this epochal event. Facing the often raw and vivid nature of these personal accounts requires a degree of courage on the part of the reader, but the effort is invaluable because, as Mr. Brooks says in his introduction, "By excluding the human factor, aren't we risking the kind of personal detachment from history that may, heaven forbid, lead us one day to repeat it? And in the end, isn't the human factor the only true difference between us and the enemy we now refer to as 'the living dead'?"

Note: Some of the numerical and factual material contained in this edition was previously published under the auspices of the United Nations Postwar Commission.]]> 342 Max Brooks 0307346609 Jack 0 to-read 4.02 2006

]]> 42411572 Atomic Habits offers a proven framework for improving—every day. James Clear, one of the world's leading experts on habit formation, reveals practical strategies that will teach you exactly how to form good habits, break bad ones, and master the tiny behaviors that lead to remarkable results.

If you're having trouble changing your habits, the problem isn't you. The problem is your system. Bad habits repeat themselves again and again not because you don't want to change, but because you have the wrong system for change. You do not rise to the level of your goals. You fall to the level of your systems. Here, you'll get a proven system that can take you to new heights.

Clear is known for his ability to distill complex topics into simple behaviors that can be easily applied to daily life and work. Here, he draws on the most proven ideas from biology, psychology, and neuroscience to create an easy-to-understand guide for making good habits inevitable and bad habits impossible. Along the way, readers will be inspired and entertained with true stories from Olympic gold medalists, award-winning artists, business leaders, life-saving physicians, and star comedians who have used the science of small habits to master their craft and vault to the top of their field.

Learn how to:
-��Make time for new habits (even when life gets crazy);
-��Overcome a lack of motivation and willpower;
- Design your environment to make success easier;
- Get back on track when you fall off course;
...and much more.

Atomic Habits will reshape the way you think about progress and success, and give you the tools and strategies you need to transform your habits--whether you are a team looking to win a championship, an organization hoping to redefine an industry, or simply an individual who wishes to quit smoking, lose weight, reduce stress, or achieve any other goal.]]> 307 James Clear 0735211302 Jack 5 4.10 2018

HERKUNFT ist ein Buch über meine Heimaten, in der Erinnerung und der Erfindung. Ein Buch über Sprache, Schwarzarbeit, die Stafette der Jugend und viele Sommer. Den Sommer, als mein Großvater meiner Großmutter beim Tanzen derart auf den Fuß trat, dass ich beinahe nie geboren worden wäre. Den Sommer, als ich fast ertrank. Den Sommer, in dem Angela Merkel die Grenzen öffnen ließ und der dem Sommer ähnlich war, als ich über viele Grenzen nach Deutschland floh.

HERKUNFT ist ein Abschied von meiner dementen Großmutter. Während ich Erinnerungen sammle, verliert sie ihre. HERKUNFT ist traurig, weil Herkunft für mich zu tun hat mit dem, das nicht mehr zu haben ist.

In HERKUNFT sprechen die Toten und die Schlangen, und meine Großtante Zagorka macht sich in die Sowjetunion auf, um Kosmonautin zu werden.

Diese sind auch HERKUNFT: ein Flößer, ein Bremser, eine Marxismus-Professorin, die Marx vergessen hat. Ein bosnischer Polizist, der gern bestochen werden möchte. Ein Wehrmachtssoldat, der Milch mag. Eine Grundschule für drei Schüler. Ein Nationalismus. Ein Yugo. Ein Tito. Ein Eichendorff. Ein Saša Stanišić.]]> 368 Saša Stanišić 3442719704 Jack 2 4.09 2019

Don Tillman, professor of genetics, has never been on a second date. He is a man who can count all his friends on the fingers of one hand, whose lifelong difficulty with social rituals has convinced him that he is simply not wired for romance. So when an acquaintance informs him that he would make a “wonderful�� husband, his first reaction is shock. Yet he must concede to the statistical probability that there is someone for everyone, and he embarks upon The Wife Project. In the orderly, evidence-based manner with which he approaches all things, Don sets out to find the perfect partner. She will be punctual and logical—most definitely not a barmaid, a smoker, a drinker, or a late-arriver.

Yet Rosie Jarman is all these things. She is also beguiling, fiery, intelligent—and on a quest of her own. She is looking for her biological father, a search that a certain DNA expert might be able to help her with. Don's Wife Project takes a back burner to the Father Project and an unlikely relationship blooms, forcing the scientifically minded geneticist to confront the spontaneous whirlwind that is Rosie—and the realization that love is not always what looks good on paper.

The Rosie Project is a moving and hilarious novel for anyone who has ever tenaciously gone after life or love in the face of overwhelming challenges.]]> 292 Graeme Simsion 1476729085 Jack 0 to-read 4.00 2013

Dieses Buch ist eine herrliche Überraschung: Matthias Brandt zeigt mit seinem literarischen Debüt, dass er nicht nur ein herausragender Schauspieler, sondern auch ein bemerkenswerter Autor ist.

Die Geschichten in Matthias Brandts erstem Buch sind literarische Reisen in einen Kosmos, den jeder kennt, der aber hier mit einem ganz besonderen Blick untersucht wird: der Kosmos der eigenen Kindheit. In diesem Fall einer Kindheit in den Siebzigerjahren des letzten Jahrhunderts in einer kleinen Stadt am Rhein, die damals Bundeshauptstadt war. Einer Kindheit, die bevölkert ist von einem manchmal bissigen Hund namens Gabor, von Herrn Vianden, mysteriösen Postboten, verschreckten Nonnen, kriegsbeschädigten Religionslehrern, einem netten Herrn Lübke von nebenan, bei dem es Kakao gibt und dem langsam die Worte ausgehen. Es gibt einen kauzigen Arbeitskollegen des Vaters, Herrn Wehner, einen Hausmeister und sogar einen Chauffeur, da der Vater gerade Bundeskanzler ist. Erzählt wird von komplizierten Fahrradausflügen, schwer bewachten Jahrmarktsbesuchen, monströsen Fußballniederlagen, skurrilen Arztbesuchen und von explodierenden und ebenso schnell wieder verlöschenden Leidenschaften wie z.B. dem Briefmarkensammeln. Nicht zuletzt lesen wir von gleichermaßen geheimnisumwobenen wie geliebten Eltern und einer Kindheit, zu der neben dem Abenteuer und der Hochstapelei auch Phantasie, Gefahr und Einsamkeit gehören. Ein Buch, das man nicht vergessen wird.]]> 176 Matthias Brandt 3462045679 Jack 0 to-read 3.74 2016

]]> 4981 Slaughterhouse-Five, an American classic, is one of the world’s great antiwar books. Centering on the infamous World War II firebombing of Dresden, the novel is the result of what Kurt Vonnegut described as a twenty-three-year struggle to write a book about what he had witnessed as an American prisoner of war. It combines historical fiction, science fiction, autobiography, and satire in an account of the life of Billy Pilgrim, a barber’s son turned draftee turned optometrist turned alien abductee. As Vonnegut had, Billy experiences the destruction of Dresden as a POW. Unlike Vonnegut, he experiences time travel, or coming “unstuck in time.��

An instant bestseller, Slaughterhouse-Five made Kurt Vonnegut a cult hero in American literature, a reputation that only strengthened over time, despite his being banned and censored by some libraries and schools for content and language. But it was precisely those elements of Vonnegut’s writing—the political edginess, the genre-bending inventiveness, the frank violence, the transgressive wit—that have inspired generations of readers not just to look differently at the world around them but to find the confidence to say something about it.

Fifty years after its initial publication at the height of the Vietnam War, Vonnegut's portrayal of political disillusionment, PTSD, and postwar anxiety feels as relevant, darkly humorous, and profoundly affecting as ever, an enduring beacon through our own era’s uncertainties.]]> 275 Kurt Vonnegut Jr. Jack 0 to-read 4.10 1969

In a Tokyo suburb a young man named Toru Okada searches for his wife's missing cat. Soon he finds himself looking for his wife as well in a netherworld that lies beneath the placid surface of Tokyo. As these searches intersect, Okada encounters a bizarre group of allies and antagonists: a psychic prostitute; a malevolent yet mediagenic politician; a cheerfully morbid sixteen-year-old-girl; and an aging war veteran who has been permanently changed by the hideous things he witnessed during Japan's forgotten campaign in Manchuria.

Their odyssey, as mysterious to them as it is to us, is enriched throughout by vivid accomplices and mesmerizing events. Cats and people carry on conversations, a ghostlike pimp employs a Hegel-quoting prostitute, a forest harbors soldiers apparently unaged since World War II, and rainstorms of fish (and worse) fall from the sky. There is a brutal murder, with the identity of both victim and perpetrator a riddle—yet this, along with everything else, is eventually answered, just as the entwined destinies of Kafka and Nakata are gradually revealed, with one escaping his fate entirely and the other given a fresh start on his own.]]> 467 Haruki Murakami 1400079276 Jack 0 to-read 4.14 2002

Aber wird sie gegen den schwedischen Geheimdienst bestehen können, der alle Kräfte mobilisiert, um sie ein für alle Mal mundtot zu machen? Zu groß ist die Gefahr, dass sie die Verbindung zwischen Zalatschenko und der schwedischen Regierung aufdeckt. Unterdessen arbeitet Mikael Blomkvist unter Hochdruck daran, Salanders Unschuld zu beweisen. Es fehlen nur noch wenige Details, und er wird das Komplott gegen Salander aufdecken. Auch als seine Ermittlungen von höchster Stelle massiv behindert werden, führt Blomkvist seine Arbeit unbeirrt fort. Er weiß genau, dass er nur noch diese eine Chance hat, um Lisbeth Salander zu retten.

what it looks like from the dance floor.

This haunting novel about the dilemma of passivity vs. passion marks the stunning debut of a provocative new voice in contemporary fiction: The Perks of Being A WALLFLOWER

This is the story of what it's like to grow up in high school. More intimate than a diary, Charlie's letters are singular and unique, hilarious and devastating. We may not know where he lives. We may not know to whom he is writing. All we know is the world he shares. Caught between trying to live his life and trying to run from it puts him on a strange course through uncharted territory. The world of first dates and mixed tapes, family dramas and new friends. The world of sex, drugs, and The Rocky Horror Picture Show, when all one requires is that the perfect song on that perfect drive to feel infinite.

Through Charlie, Stephen Chbosky has created a deeply affecting coming-of-age story, a powerful novel that will spirit you back to those wild and poignant roller coaster days known as growing up.

Der Auftaktsatz nimmt die Geschichte über das Leben eines Genies in der Enge eines österreichischen Bergdorfs vorweg: Schon als Kind ist der 1803 geborene Elias Außenseiter, sein außergewöhnlich scharfes Gehör und sein musikalisches Talent sorgen bei den Dorfbewohnern für Aufsehen und Argwohn. Die unerfüllte Liebe zu seiner Cousine Elsbeth quält ihn im Laufe der Jahre, und sie treibt ihn an. Bei einem Orgelwettbewerb in Feldberg improvisiert Elias über den Bach-Choral »Komm, o Tod, du Schlafes Bruder« und entfacht eine ungeahnt starke Wirkung auf sein Publikum und sich selbst.
