Reading Wednesday - Holiday Edition

[grundyscribbling]

Ok, so there was a bunch of reading in Germany also, but I didn't think to write down all the titles.

I do know Myrrhe, Mord und Marzipan because I bought it (this was one of the many books contributing to the 'will she make the weight limit' question packing to come home last week.)

I didn't read much new in the past week - Night Watch and Hogfather, along with an Agatha Christie. (Don't remember which one, only that it was Hercule Poirot.)

I also just finished a re-read of the entire Anne of Green Gables series, all 8 books. (Don't ask why, I don't know, but I had the urge to read it, and it was strong enough that I hunted out the books in the attic after I discovered the editions on my Kindle are shockingly bad - not just occasional missing words, but whole missing passages.)

Heh, I know this urge well, particularly of a certain kind of favourite childhood/teen books... on Christmas Eve, I dug out the ancient copy of Erich Kästner's "Das Fliegende Klassenzimmer" I inherited from my father, one of my hurt/comfort comfort readings since childhood (along with a few other Erich Kästner volumes and Krabat by Otfried Preußler. Do you know any of these?) Unfortunately the copy is that old that the pages are about to disintegrate, so I treated myself to the ebook, and decided to get the whole Käsnter ebook edition, too, as I love to re-read most of them every few years.

I'm mostly unfamiliar with Anne of Green Gables, but got interested a few years ago, and downloaded it from gutenberg.org. I haven't started anything so I don't know if the editions are also faulty, but it might be worth checking out if you still care about their digital form.
