Marco, I think you're superb at conveying emotion into your writing.

I also want to throw you a hard question.

If you could only read one fiction and one non-fiction book for the rest of your life, which ones would they be?

Thank you very much. And also really cool question.

For fiction I’d probably choose “The Neverending Story” / “Die Unendliche Geschichte” by Michael Ende. Simply because it’s the fiction book with the deepest lore and metaphorical meaning I’ve ever read.

For non-fiction it’s harder. I’m right now reading a trilogy and I’m only at book one. But it’s already changing my whole perspective.

I was thinking: “Im Kreuz der Wirklichkeit” / “In the Crossraod of Reality” by Eugen Rosenstock-Huessy.

Reality is a bit different than Wirklichkeit though, even if dictionaries translate it with that.

But I’d probably go with “Recapture the Rapture” by Jamie Wheal in the end. Just because it’s more in tune with todays society.

Thanks for the reply, Marco! Good to get some recs that are different from the same few that get thrown around the internet.
