Manuel finished reading 1Q84
1Q84 - Wyrms.de

A love story, a mystery, a fantasy, a novel of self-discovery, a dystopia to rival George Orwell's – *1Q84* is a tremendous feat of imagination from one of our most revered contemporary writers.

Ich könnte im Rahmen von WRINTs Odonien 23 eine Rückfahrgelegenheit oder Tipps, um eine Nacht in Köln herumzubringen, gebrauchen.

Odonien 23 (Update) – WRINT: Wer redet ist nicht tot

@falcon You may, and I might. :D

Good luck and all the perseverance you need to you and your wife, too.

@falcon Haha, the difficulties of learning new languages; I feel you. Learning Japanese – alone, with Duolingo – has been a slog for me, but I'm still at it. Go me, lol.

Nice to hear that the series is digitally available for english readers at least. So if you're fine with e-books, you're not missing much. Though, I have to admit, having the prints with the cover arts is appealing to me. 😅

@falcon NEO was a good move by the publisher. Rebooting (is it actually a reboot? – doesn't matter) the series in a more modern style and a tad more gritty probably helped many younger or newer readers to get into it.

iirc you are learning german, don't you?
Do you read PR in english? Are the books easily available for non-german readers, ie people whose german is not good enough to read?

@falcon That you instantly thought of Arkonides warms my heart. I am not a regular reader of PR, but I've read (and listened to) my fair share, and to me it has a special place.

Saw this lytics being shared today. It instantly reminded me of the Arkonides in Perry Rhodan:

“They repeated every test

They checked out all the data on their lists

And then, the alien anthropologists

Admitted they were still perplexed

But on eliminating every other reason

For our sad demise

They logged the only explanation left

This species has amused itself to death

“ - Roger Waters, -Amused to Death 1992
