Books

The books I have read and found good enough to be on my “Must Read List”

Just for fun and my own personal record. I also give each book a rating out of ten based on nothing more then how much I liked it. If the book is on this list I liked it very much anyway. I also forget to update the list sometimes…

In Afrikaans I would say anything by Leipold is my favorite.

In English I do not really have a favorite I even enjoyed works by Pope John Paul II.

0. Down and Out in Paris and London (George Orwell, 1933)
