This year's German Literature Prize Winner. Set in Brussels, all around EU politics, with several other stories woven in. He ralates lots of small detils, some of which are presented in, what I consider, to be boring dialogue. But a good read nonetheless.

Set in Switzerland. A story (partly based on a real event) about a policemen during WWII and the effect on his family.

A new perspective on why we have Trump et al. She writes well and I agree with much of what she says. Long and detailed.

This had good reveiws but I lost interest. It was supposed to be about bees and the problem we are creating for them - and them for us eventually, well probably after I have died.

Non-fiction.

A very technical tome. Makes one feel very young.

This is a book written at the beginning of the last century which describes so much of what was wrong then - and is again now. A socialists handbook almost.

A reasonable explanation of the hillbillies who voted for Trump. I think there is a whole cause above this which explains why people are dissatisfied with their lot - international capitalism, but of course this isn't mentioned.

A little dated, but nonetheless a lot of small items which are very interesting. Scientists have been looking at Climate Change for decades. How anyone could consider saying it is not clear we have a problem we ourselves caused has to have a broken brain IMHO.

Interesting, with a lot of explanations.

Poorly-written promoted as true stories in and around International politics. I think this might just be a little bit of propaganda. He was interviewed on BBC World.

A well-written, somewhat dated spy thriller. Allbeury was one of the best after WWII. He was in the SIS during the later part of the war. Many of his stories are based on some facts. This one is about a Soviet mole at the side of the new US President - timely!

A bit long-winded, but with some interesting titbits. Science and man's development.

Just a free sample of the role of Big Data. How many algos are watching us right now?
