Some great books & posts here, here’s the link to mine, thanks
http://parrishlantern.blogspot.com/2011/11/short-treatise-on-joys-of-morphinism.html?m=1
Thanks a lot Parrish. You’ve been included. Thanks a lot for joining.

Just a query not to you but to Tabula Rasa, with hope she sees it here. Tried but couldn’t comment on her blog pressed the appropriate button & nowt much happens. Thanks Parrish.
I had the same problem on yours and mel u’s blog. Weird. Maybe some blogspot thing.
I tried again, and there is a problem. When you go on her page, you see 0 comments, when you go on the link, our (Lizzy and mine) comments appear. There is no e-mail, or I could let her know. Too bad.
I’ve received your comment all comments are moderated, because of a spam problem I had but I’ve got an app on my phone so I normally check & post them quite quickly, as I’m made aware of them thru being notified on my phone. Thanks for getting back to me.
It went all weird for a moment saying I wasn’t allowed to comment, then it reappaeard and disappeared. I realized, I do have Priya’s e-mail of course. I need to send her a message. She changed her blog a week back and now commenting doesn’t work anymore.

I seem to be running behind everyone else, for some reason. I have just posted my Week II entry at http://thechildrenswar.blogspot.com/2011/11/emil-and-detectives-by-erich-kastner.html
I’ll will try to do better this week.
Don’t worry, you have already contributed a great review.
I feel like a pest, but I meant Emil and the Detectives to be for week 2, when we read crime stories. I am reading an Eva Ibbotson for the Austrian author for week 3, and hope to post about it in a day or two.
Thanks for your nice comment about Kästner.
I know but I did include it in week III so it will get mentioned in this week’s wrap up. Else it would have slipped by unnoticed. I’m looking forward to your Eva Ibbotson review. I usually enjoy her books a lot but haven’t read any of her children’s books – if it is that what you will review.

Caroline – I hope I’m following the right procedure for posting, but in any case, here’s a link to my Week III entry:
http://seraillon.blogspot.com/2011/11/beautiful-days.html
Many thanks!
It’s perfect, Scott, thanks, I’ll add it immediately.
Hi Caroline, here’s my new post, The Faber Book of 20Th Century German Poems.
http://parrishlantern.blogspot.com/2011/11/20th-century-german-poems.html
PS, would you accept Markus Zusak, although Aussie, he’s of German descent & the Book thief is set in Germany?
Thanks, Parrish, great, poems. I’m not so sure about Zusak… He writes in English, right?
Yeah he does but I had a post with Germany as It’s subject so I thought I’d ask, will post it separately in a couple of weeks.
PS. It’s a great tale, so if you get the chance to read the book, do so.
I just realized there is another of our participants (Neer) who read and reviewed it but didn’t include it in the books of German Literature Month…
I bought it a while back but then suddenly started doubting it and never read it. Good to know, you liked it, I’m tempted now. I’ll be interested to read your review.
Dear Caroline
The Book Thief was the book I had in mind when I asked whether one could include books written in English, but primarily set and associated with Germany, in this event. The impression that i got was that books had to be originally written in German so I didn’t include it in the books of GLM. if there is change in rules, I can gladly include it. And yes, you should read it. It just grows on you.
And finally, here is (my long delayed) review of The Reader
http://inkquilletc.blogspot.com/2011/11/issue-itself-present-day-germany-and.html
Almost at the end of Visitation now.
Neer, Parrish decided not to include it and I wasn’t aware when I told him that you had read it in parallel – not meaning to include it. I would prefer to stick to the language rule or we will end up with all sorts of book set in Germany and not even touching on German history. I got the Book Thief, thanks for the nudge.
Thanks for the review. I hope you get along with Visitation. Not everybody likes it.
Hello!
Here is my full post on Irmgard Keun’s ‘The Artificial Silk Girl.’

Great, thanks, I’ll add it right away.

Thanks!
Thanks, Eibhlin, I’ll have a look.

Great, Neer, thanks. I will visit later today, I’m curious to see what you thought of this and Visitation.

It’s not exactly literature but I think it’s of interest – A Woman in Berlin by Anonymous.

It’s wonderful that you reviwed this, sakura. I want to read as well. I saw the movie and it’s fantastic. I think memoir can/should be included in literature anyway.
