Tunnels by Roderick Gordon and Brian Williams
Part one of a very exciting adventure series with a somewhat eerie undertone. This thick book is hard to put aside, even if the initial hundred pages are a little too descriptive.
It’s a Book by Lane Smith
A tribute to the printed book! However, I suspect that this picture book is more suited for the adult reader than for the toddler. Which young toddler understand words like ‘tweet’?
The Butterfly Tatoo by Philip Pullman
A novel that touches everyone. About love and death, which sometimes feels breathtakingly realistic.
Deception Point by Dan Brown
Very interesting book about various conspiracy theories. The main theme centers around the old question of whether we are alone in the universe or not. As usual, it is thrilling to read Brown.
The Origins of Museums by Oliver Impey and Arthur MacGregor
The best introduction for anyone who wants to know more about the historical background of today’s museums. This is academic research at its best!
Orchid Fever by Eric Hansen
A great nonfiction book, describing eccentric orchid collectors worldwide. The book is also a starting point for the history of plant hunters specializing in orchids and their cultural history.
Cabinets of Curiosities by Patrick Mauries
This is eye candy for anyone who – myself included – are in love with the age of curiosity collectors. The book gives a detailed account of the development of curiosity cabinets to date. A treasure chamber for anyone interested in oddities from the reals of culture and nature!
Tintin: The Complete Companion by Michael Farr
An excellent guide for prospective Tintinologists! There is plenty of information concerning both the background to the comics, as well as historical context. This is a great introduction for those who want to deepen their knowledge of all things Tintin.
Tintin & Co. by Michael Farr
The book describes the characters in Tintin’s world. A must for any fan of Tintin!
