What a book! Very well deserved Booker Prize. Must-read recommendation. #ChemistsWhoRead

After having finished Angela Merkel‘s memoirs I am now moving further back in time. The relevance for today‘s situation in Europe is obvious. The author @anneapplebaum.bsky.social is an important voice in discussions about the future of Ukraine, Poland & the Baltic states. #ChemistsWhoRead

The main reason why I am using @duolingoesp.bsky.social is to be able - eventually - to read a book like this in its original version. Unfortunately, I am still a few years away from this goal… #ChemistsWhoRead

Another great read by David Grann: not a work of fiction but rather a study about aspects of US history largely unknown to me. The making of the FBI & J. Edgar Hoover‘s early career days. #ChemistsWhoRead

A kindle will never replace the haptic feeling of reading a well printed book… #ChemistsWhoRead

This is my dream room 😍 Having moved overseas (and moved around here a lot), parting with my books was a strategic but sad move. Home libraries are the greatest thing in the world!!! I guess now I’m carrying my kindle library with me wherever I go… but it’s not the same. #chemistswhoread

Others are moving from books to ebooks. I am moving from buying more IKEA bookcases to spending way too much money on custom-build wooden bookcases. Financed by selling Amazon stocks. Feel free to call me old-school. I am smiling… #ChemistsWhoRead

I am a passionate reader which means that I read a lot (beyond scientific papers). I continue to struggle with getting into short stories though. Every few years I give it another try. This time it’s TC Boyle. Any recommendations for must-read volumes on short stories are welcome… #ChemistsWhoRead

Flying in and out of Bangalore/Bengaluru this week left me with too many hours on planes. Finally some time to read in an otherwise very busy phase of the year. David Grann was again an excellent choice… #ChemistsWhoRead

Reading with a view… #ChemistsWhoRead #Catalunya
