  3. (1/2) Little note: I enjoyed sharing some of the books that have influenced me, but I enjoy reading about books even more. There are so many more beautiful books out there, but there is a difference between being a beautiful read and influencing someone. And sometimes you can't say why it influenced you, maybe it was just a matter of circumstance.
    Many thanks to the unknown person who has initiated this challenge.

  4. 20/20 "Work" by CrimethInc + "Werk is geen oplossing" by Marguerite van den Berg + "Nieder mit den Restaurants" by prole.info
    #work #labour #labor #workersrights #Activism
    For the last book that influenced me, I cheat a bit and choose three books instead of just one. But all three of these books are about work and they are very readable books about work and capitalism.

    ...gefühlskalten Mann, der von der Sonne fast in den Wahnsinn getrieben wird, der sicher nicht unschuldig ist, jedoch sich eigentlich nur selbst verteidigt, jedoch wegen Mordes zum Tode verurteilt wird. Der Leser begleitet ihn bis zu seinen letzten Stunden.

    Es war zudem mein erstes Buch auf Französisch.

    ...However, the books about #Pharaoh #Ramses II, which I bought on a flee market, marked the beginning of my voyage into this ancient realm.

    So w/o further ado, here's the first book 📖:

    Ramses: The Son of Light - Volume I

    So, I still owe you my final installment, though including the sequels of the series presented, I've been way past the 20 books, for more than a week 😉.

    My final recommendation for the time being is an author who writes at the same level as #ColleenMcCullough,...

    Day 17:

    I have been busy with some shelves so belatedly, my recommendation for the fascinating (hi)story of the #Mongols and their early khans.

    It introduced me to an amazing part of Mongolia's and #China’s, and subsequently #India's as well as Europe's history: the #ConquerorSeries.

    Irish author #ConnIggulden is a master storyteller.
