All you readers, come on and share your recent "hits", i.e., books that you particularly enjoyed and would definitely recommend to others.
I'll start with a few recent ones:
NON-FICTION
(EN) Glyn Williams - Arctic Labyrinth: The Quest for the Northwest Passage
(IT) Indro Montanelli - Storia di Roma
(NL) Christoffel Waelkens - De wetenschap van de kosmos
FICTION
(CS) Karin Lednická - Šikmý kostel
(RU) Дмитрий Глух... See more All you readers, come on and share your recent "hits", i.e., books that you particularly enjoyed and would definitely recommend to others.

Don't be shy. All languages welcome. Fiction, non-fiction, poetry, anything goes.
Thread to (hopefully) remain permanently open. ▲ Collapse

主题发起人 | All right, so apparently reading is dead | Apr 2 |
Whoa, I knew that illiteracy is rampant but... zero replies in 4 days? This is even worse than I feared!
Doesn't anyone ever pick up a book anymore? Or just e-bookify articles from Wikipedia and read them as short essays?

You read in Czech and Dutch? That's impressive.. a more cynical bastard might consider that a "show off list" 
I've recently read Blood Meridian by Cormac McCarthy (in English, as currently there's no Turkish translation of it). I can't say I've understood/appreciated it much (as much as the 'highbrow' Gen Z hipsters analyzing it on Youtube at any rate).

Let's just say that those are the original titles, and I might or might not have read them in the original.
I'm semi-fluent in Czech for personal and business reasons, and written Dutch is not a big mystery if you master both English and German.

The site has been malfunctioning, and I only came across your thread today.
Given the platform's current state, I believe there's very little motivation to visit. It's nearly impossible to use or even browse!
My recommendation for any translator:
https://www.sellerio.it/it/catalogo/Rovescio-Arazzo-Note-Sull-Arte-Traduzione/Manguel/15543
I believe in English is: The Backside of Tapestry: Notes on the Art of Translation. In PT-PT: O avesso da tapeçaria: notas sobre a arte da tradução.
P.S.: It took me more than 30 minutes to post this...

I used to be an avid reader, but these days, after a 10-hour stretch as a full-time translator/proofreader and part-time investor/trader, my eyes are begging for mercy. So, I've traded in my spare-time reading for sports and music to keep things balanced. If AI speeds up my retirement plans, though, I'll happily dive back into my reading list...
