2) The book that you want to read next

I have a pile of books on one of my bookshelves, where I put the books I want to read. Usually it grows faster then I can read the books and there is always more than one book. When I finish a book I either take the book that's on top of the pile or I choose another one, because the one on top doesn't tickle my fancy at that particular moment. So here are the books that are currently in the pile:

Alan Weisman "Die Welt ohne uns - Reise über eine unbevölkerte Welt", which is a book about what would happen in this world if humankind died, based on scientific knowledge of biologists, physicists, geologists, architects etc. I think it will be very fascinating to read.

Moreover I got Oscar Wilde's "The picture od Dorian Gray". I don't think it needs any further explanation. I'm particularly interested in the character of Lord Henry, as one of my friends hates him, but at the same time says that he reminds him of a mutual friend, who, in turn, doesn't hate Lord Henry at all, but takes it as a compliment. I'm interested to see, whose opinion I will share or if I'll just decide that both of them are mental.

Book number 3 is "Glücklich sein" by Sonja Lyubomirsky, who is a psychologist who does a lot of research on happiness. It's a really interesting topic but as I haven't read the book yet, I have no idea if it's any good. I do remember reading one of her papers, though, and I enjoyed it. The book is not a psychological textbook, but written for normal people, by the way, so if you want to read something about more scientific psychology then the interpretations of fairytales, that I talked about yesterday, go ahead.

On we go. Book number 4 is Terry Pratchett's "Nation". I'm not a fan of Terry Pratchett at all. I tried to read two of the Disc World novels and didn't enjoy them at all, but I'll give this one a try, a) because it's not a disc world novel, b) because someone who doesn't like Pratchett either said it was enjoyable and c) because a youtuber I really like said that it was fantastic. Let's see if that's true. Maybe I will become a Pratchett-fangirl after all.

And the last book on my pile: "Ulysses" by James Joyce. It's supposed to be really complicated and I think I will read the wikipedia article before I read the actual book but I guess I will feel very educated after I read it. Also, who knows, maybe I will actually enjoy it.
