Suggested Reading List

Dear Fellow Participants,

I'm posting here a couple of reading and film options for this fall - and maybe even for the long transatlantic flight.

Books:
Brian Ladd's "Companion Guide to Berlin" - as advertised, it is a good guide to the city of Berlin
Wladimir Kaminer's "Russian Disco" - This is a collection of short vignettes written by one of Germany's hippest young (immigrant) writers.
Mary Fulbrook's "A Concise History of Germany"
Peter Schneider's "The Walljumper"
Herta Mueller - anything by her, she's the most recent Nobel Prize for Literature winner

Films:
"Comedian Harmonists" (1997)
"In July" (2000)
"Goodbye Lenin (2003)
"Go for Zucker" (2004)
"The Lives of Others" (2006)
"Sophie Scholl. The Final Days" (2005)
