 # Books since 2020
 ## Barney White-Spunner
 - Berlin – The Story of a City (ISBN: **978-1-7411-8156-6**)
+  - Too much stuff happening in too few pages
+  - Very interesting read, but write notes, and take breaks. It's quite overwhelming IMO
 
 ## Bruce Dickinson
 - What Does This Button Do? (ISBN: **978-0-00-817243-5**)
+  - Interesting perspective, but don't expect much "Iron Maiden lore" to come out of it
 
 ## Clifford Stoll
 - Kuckucksei
+  - As a sys-admin whose parents were small children in the 80's, it's a really fascinating story. Well written too
+  - I especially appreciate buying time by rubbing the cable with metallic keys, that's brilliant
 
 ## Colson Whitehead
 - The Underground Railroad (ISBN: **978-0-7088-9840-6**)
+  - Lots of swearing and slurs, but wouldn't be nearly as accurate without them
+  - Would only recommend for mature readers

 ## J.R.R. Tolkien
 - The Lord of the Rings
+  - My all-time favourite piece of writing
+  - Don't talk with me about fantasy books without having read it first
+  - No, the audio books and movies don't count
 
 ## Marc Elsberg
 - Blackout – Morgen ist es zu spät (ISBN: **978-3-442-38029-9**)
+  - I put it off for too long because I was too into English reading, but it's amazing
+  - Especially after the whole Covid-19 pandemic, it feels eerily realistic in a way that I struggle to describe
+  - Some of the latter scenes gave me chills (and still do if I think about them)
 
 ## Michael Ende
