Are you into Books or Audiobooks?

Matthias

I am not only interested in tech, but also in good stories. So what books have you read or listened to lately? What is your favourite book.

One of my favorite book series is Magic 2.0 by Scott Meyer. Starting with book 1 - Off to be the Wizard. It is a really funny and entertaining story about a IT Guy who will end up in the middle age and become a wizard. If i want to compare it to something we’ll known I would say it is a similar humor that Douglas Adams Hitchhiker’s guide to the galaxy if famous for. But a little bit nerdier. It has a great sense of playing with words and their meanings.

What a cool topic! I love stories myself. I’m also a writer so I might be a bit biased lol. As a fellow nerd, I’ll definitely have to check that book out but lately I’ve been listening to audio books. I found listening to them while I attempt to run makes the pain much more bearable lol!

As a huge Star Wars fan, I’ve been listening to as many of the books as I can on audio book which has been really fun. Thanks for asking!

Heyo well the whole series of six books is available as a audiobook, at least in English, we Germany haven’t been that lucky with getting the books translated. They only did a translation for the first 3 book, so we also did only get them as audiobooks. That’s the reason I had to listen to them in English and I need to say that the translated did a very good job, because the humor is translated 1 by one and works one by one In German as it worked in English.

I used to read novels a lot when I was in Uni. After I started working, Audio book became the only choice

SprintingWorm so could you tell what have been the book wich impressed you most or was the most fun to read/listen to.

Matthias Ahh, mostly philosophy. I am currently reading Arthur Schopenhauer

Heyo

SprintingWorm Oh philosophy! That sounds really interesting. It would probably do all of us some good to learn how to think better and open up our minds a bit lol. There’s so many really smart, well-meaning people in this world and I think we could all learn a lot from them!
