Great Books for your Reading Pleasure
Here is a book I really enjoyed and wanted to share with you:
The 100-Year-Old Man Who Climbed Out the Window and Disappeared by Jonas Jonasson
One of the funniest books I have read in a while. It’s a special kind of humor that not everybody may like. I found it hilarious and while you laugh you get a great overview of world history and a tongue-in-cheek vivid portrayal of some of the world’s most famous politicians and rulers. There is an underlying roguish criticism of the weaknesses of social and political systems and their perpetrators.
I read the German version: Der Hundertjährige, der aus dem Fenster stieg und verschwand.
Happy Reading, my Fellow Bookworms!

I just started reading this and am loving it already. Laugh-out-loud funny at times.

Hmm. It sounds interesting—but I am passing. I have more books than I’ll ever be able to read in this lifetime. Thank you for the suggestion though. I am glad you enjoyed it.
