Everyone has her favorite books of all time, books that made a great impact to one's life... Mine are these and the list might still get longer as time goes by. (Please excuse if the title links are in German, I am now living in Germany and I read more in this language nowadays in order for me to develop my German skills.) FICTION Myths of Classical Antiquity Victor Hugo's Les Miserables The Picture of Dorian Gray 1984 Alice in Wonderland Cecelia Ahern's P.S. I Love You Cecelia Ahern's The Year I Met You Sterntagebücher Philip Pullman's His Dark Materials Trilogy To Kill A Mockingjay Go, Set A Watchman Jodi Picoult's My Sister's Keeper Dean Koontz's The Door to December Sophie's World The Old Man and the Sea One Hundred Years of Solitude   NON-FICTION Ich bin dann mal weg: Meine Reise auf dem Jakobsweg

I've been living for quite a long time now here in Germany. I've met different kinds of people, separated in a not-so-good ways with some of them. But despite all the bad experiences, there are a few who stayed and I am really thankful of them, for being there for me through my ups and downs. They may be only few, I can even count them with my fingers, but they are more than enough. They are the kind of people I am most comfortable to be with. I don't need to pretend just to be accepted. I can tell them everything that I think and feel and still rest assured that I am understood and accepted. With them, it is fine to be crazy and they would just laugh and say "typical Anne".
