Rochus Misch, Ich war Hitlers Leibgarde. oder so ähnlich. Schreckliches Buch. Wie konnte einer so nahe am Geschehen dran sein und so wenig begreifen. Habe das Buch auch noch auf Portugiesisch gelesen. 

Long time..

I will try again to write something of any relevance. What I read: Alan Greenspan, Times of Turbulence. A real nice book of a great economist who followed and lead the economic development of the last 50 years. Finally I found a reason why I studied macroeconomics for about 4 years Funny thing that reading good books is like dreaming. Once woken up you hardly remember what you have read. From Diogenes I read Joe Goebels, Vincent. A serendipidous story about a prodigious kid in the american show biz. Very entertaining. Then, then. We just finished a Ashtanga Yoga course of four days. Everyday in the morning we would drive to Brooklin in the south of the City, practice for 90 minutes with Matthew Vollmer. After four days I feel somehow deeply exhausted, fiscally and somehow, I dont know why, emotionally. Anyway. George Bernhard Shaw, A picture of Dorian Gray. Reread it after not having remembered anything. I think actually at school I must have never read it. Anyway, a very sad book of a person who starts leading a totally superficial life. We just are about to finish our first CD. It will come out on the 14. of Dezember with a little show in a Bar in the center of São Paulo. Since they opened a big bookstore in the conjunto national, something like the Barnes and Noble store in New York I bought so many book that I hardly remember what I read. Tom Clancy, the sum of all fears. The first of all these "cool CIA guy fights tons of anti-american terrorist and even gets a lock on some women who try to run the white house" type of story. Very good. Cannot lay away type of book. Now it is 1.26h in the morning and I cannot sleep. Shit...Tomorrow would be a holiday here, but my company works having had a holiday today. . Not to forget: Amin Maalouf, The crusade through Arab eyes. A truly inspiring work that show how worlds collided during the times of the crusades 900-1200 and how history many times happens to repeat itself.
