2018: Part 1

1: Graphic Discovery, Howard Wainer
Interesting. A little preachy and repetitive at times.
2: Northern Lights, Philip Pullman
Fun.
3: The Subtle Knife, Philip Pullman
Eventually fun, but not as much as Northern Lights.
4: Little Money Street: in search of Gypsies and their music in the South of France, Fernanda Eberstadt
Interesting memoir.
5: Thinking Statistically, Uri Bram
Fine. Should re-read.
6: I Like Jazz, Donald Myrus
Short YA introduction to jazz
7: De zaak 40/61: een reportage, Harry Mulisch
Mulisch's columns about the Eichmann trial. Memoir form. He writes well, of course. Frustratingly, no translations for (often long) German quotations. His reasons are admirable, but I think would have been as well served by a copy of both the German and translated texts as by just the German.
