Currently reading Jahrestage by Uwe Johnson, a 1700 pages book about Germany shortly before, during and after WW2, told by a mother to her daughter in New York of 1967, many New York Times news are intervened, so the Vietnam war, racial tensions and counterculture movement play a big part too. It is seperated into 4 books, I finished the first one so far and perhaps I might even give the whole thing 4 stars if it holds up.

is the stuff you wrote on your goodreads account (the story in German about the psych ward) 100% autobiographical Sebastian?

>> No.7953463

>>7953254

Yes, just some impressions of my stays in the ward. Some parts happened when I was 19 and the later parts happend last year. The only part not true is the "Supergirls don't cry" part, I dont actually said it out loud to her, I just thought it. But she gave me a weird stare while I was looking at her shirt and she walked away.

ah ok I thought so, this also explains how you read so much (although I still can't imagine reading as much as you do). I really enjoyed reading the story, written stuff on goodreads is usually horrible so this was a nice exception. Some things really hit home hard.
