Behold the temptations of a workplace situated only one minute away from the local Zweitausendeins store.

Oh, and before you ask...

1) Ellen Auerbach: Berlin, Tel Aviv, London, New York.
Originally only picked up because I remebered Auerbach's name from an interesting radio feature I had listened to a couple of days ago. Now that I've browsed through the pages, I'm totally amazed by the beauty and evocativeness of Auerbach's photography.Definitely the purchase I'm most proud of.

2) German copy of Susan Sonntag: The Volcano Lover. A Romance.
I like Sonntag, I like historical fiction. No idea whether the combination of these two factors is any good. The book was there, it was dead cheap, I'm a curious person.

3)Rupert Christiansen: The Victorian Visitors. Culture Shock in Nineteenth-Century Britain
Found about two hundred meters away from Zweitausendeins, over at the rivalling Jokers. Call me a Victoriana fan girl ;-)
