'The Test of Courage The Michel Thomas Story" by Christopher Robbins
Michel Thomas was a Polyglot/Linguist, and decorated war veteran. A Nazi concentration camp survivor and French Resistance fighter, he also worked as a Nazi Hunter with the U.S. Army Counter Intelligence Corps. After the war, Thomas emigrated to the United States, where he developed a language-teaching system known as the “Michel Thomas method”.
A fascinating read!

“This is How They Tell Me the World Ends”
Nicole Perlroth
Absolutely phenomenal(to me) look into the world of 0 Day exploits and government involvement in the same.
Ready player Two by Ernest Cline
It is the events that follow the famous movie and novel Ready Player One. I decided to hop on the band wagon and give it a read. I got a paper copy, I don’t like digital books unless it’s related to school. I must say the cover design is interesting.

Why the germans do it better-notes from a grown up country by John Kampfner.
My copy just arrived yesterday. I have to add the title is kind of misleading. Very thoughtful and authentic book.

Just started in on this series, which I somehow missed in my younger days…

That’s classics! 
However…Friedrich Nietzsche is very misunderstood, especially when it comes to “God is dead” statement 
Also, for non German speakers it’s damn hard to get his work, because it’s very hard to translate his philosophy on most languages either without loosing musical / rhythmical quality or essence of his ideas…
Both are equally important

when i was younger, i read and loved his books with ardent zeal - also or just because it is no “easy listening”
perfect conformists for whom life is (supposedly) a walk in the park bore me to death. i guess i have a soft spot for people who break from reality like i do 
i agree with you, but the difficulty of porting over is very often given. just think of shakespeare, who also has a very specific rhythm and music. when translating into german, a lot of things fall by the wayside naturally.
