Reading German Books in 2020 discussion

This year i intend to force myself into a little more non-fiction.
For starters i'll try to read 5 german non-fiction books.
1. **** Amerikas Gotteskrieger by Annika Brockschmidt, read in German

I translated this title and some of the description and it sounds really interesting. Let us know how you go.

It's hard for me to compare, as i rarely read non-fiction. Actually i think it is the first non-fiction book i read which is not on literature or on movies.

For me it was a solid four stars. The topic was hard and the read was really depressing, at moments scary, especially seeing all the parallels to central europe. Nevertheless the reading was pure pleasure, the book was captivating, thoroughly researched and fully accessible, even for a person such as me, who is a layman in both american politics and religion.

I have two political biographies to read at the moment, one just started, but usually my nonfiction reading is letters and diaries and some history. I always try to read at least one book during non-fiction November. Good sound comments!

Good challenge. I have The Hidden Life of Trees by Peter Wohlleben on my short list to read this year (hopefully, in German). Maybe in November. :-)

Thanks Reenbean, Peter Wohlkeben is also on my list, but on a longer one, hopefully next year...

2. **** Der unsichtbare Drache: Ein Gespräch mit Heinrich Detering By Heinrich Detering & Daniel Kehlmann, read in german.
