My leeslys: ’n oorsig

Ek het die afgelope weke ’n paar boeke klaargemaak (meeste benodig nog ’n resensie). Ek het van meeste gehou en dink ’n paar is uitstekend. Hier is my huidige lys:

"Old Books 3" by T. Fazakas

• God’sPhilosphers: How the Medieval World Laid the Foundations of Modern Science deur James Hannam
• NoPlace for a Lady deur Anne Harries (Lees dieresensie hier)
• ’nAnder land deur Karel Schoeman (Lees die resensie hier)
• LostLanguages: The Enigma of the World’s Undeciphered Scripts deur Andrew Robinson
• Eat,Pray, Love deur Elizabeth Gilbert

Resensies vir die ander drie boeke sal in die volgende paar weke volg.

Wat ek tans lees

Op die oomblik lees ek When Languages Die: The Extinction of the World’s Languages and theErosion of Human Knowledge deur David Harrison (baie interessant). Daarbenewens wonder ek of ek dadelik met die Kalevala moet begin en of ek eers weer een van my gunsteling Discworld boeke wil lees…

Ander boekgoeters

Ek het op hierdie film van OxfordUniversity Press afgekom waarin gewys word hoe ’n boek vervaardig word. Beslis die kyk werd!

My Reading List: An Update

I’ve recently finished a couple of books (most of which still need reviews). I liked most of them and even loved a few. Here’s what is on my “just read” list:

• God’sPhilosphers: How the Medieval World Laid the Foundations of Modern Science by James Hannam
• NoPlace for a Lady by Anne Harries (Read my reviewhere)
• ’nAnder land by Karel Schoeman (Read the [Afrikaans]review here)
• LostLanguages: The Enigma of the World’s Undeciphered Scripts by Andrew Robinson
• Eat, Pray, Love by Elizabeth Gilbert

 Reviews for the other three books will follow in the next few weeks.

My Current Reads

I’m currently only busy with When Languages Die: The Extinction of theWorld’s Languages and the Erosion of Human Knowledge by David Harrison (very interesting). Now I’m also pondering whether I should plunge into the Kalevala straight away, or whether I first want to reread one of my favourite Discworld books…

In Bookish News

I came across this silent film from OxfordUniversity Press about the production of a book. Well worth the watch!
