Nachdem ich zum 9ten Mal die "The Dark Tower"-Serie von S.K durch hab, hab ich mir mal was Neues geholt und mit der "The 5th Wave" - Trilogy von Rick Yancey angefangen.
Englische Version - finds angenehm zu lesen... nix all zu Anspruchsvolles, aber trotzdem fesselnd.

Marc Uwe Kling - Qualityland Hab die Lesung am 34C3 von Marc Uwe recht gut gefunden, die Hörbücher der Känguru Triologie liebe ich. Kennst du die Hörbücher von ihm? Bin nämlich nicht sicher, ob ich nicht hier das Audiobook dem physischem Buch vorziehen würde. Habe ganz verpasst, dass das rausgekommen ist. Wie sind bisher deine Eindrücke? Habs binnen 3 Tagen verschlungen, hält das Level der restlichen Bücher definitiv. Einzig schlechter Eindruck: dauert wieder bis zum nächsten Buch

Kennst du die Hörbücher von ihm? Bin nämlich nicht sicher, ob ich nicht hier das Audiobook dem physischem Buch vorziehen würde. Ja, kenne die Hörbücher der Känguru-Chroniken (beinahe in und auswendig  ). War deshalb im Nov im Gartenbaukino bei der Qualityland-Lesung und wollte nun mal was von ihm lesen. Denke nun nach dem Lesen auch, dass es wohl noch witziger wäre es zu hören. Wobei es ohnehin nicht ganz an die Chroniken rankommt. @topic: Michael Köhlmeier und Konrad Paul Liessmann - Wer hat dir gesagt dass du nackt bist, Adam? Mythologisch-philosophische Verführungen ... Die Büchertitel nehmen erschreckende Ausmaße an.

Ich bin grad fertig mit Ernest Cline - Armada. Ähnlich Ready Player One, die Story allerdings wesentlich vorhersehbarer und clichehafter. Aber nett, leicht und schnell zu lesen, wie von RPO gewohnt viele Pop Kultur Referenzen. Teilweis musst ich über die Story, teilweise über das Buch selbst lachen.ArmadaIt’s just another day of high school for Zack Lightman. He's daydreaming through another boring math class, with just one more month to go until graduation and freedom—if he can make it that long without getting suspended again. Then he glances out his classroom window and spots the flying saucer. At first, Zack thinks he’s going crazy.A minute later, he’s sure of it. Because the UFO he’s staring at is straight out of the videogame he plays every night, a hugely popular online flight simulator called Armada—in which gamers just happen to be protecting the earth from alien invaders. But what Zack’s seeing is all too real. And his skills—as well as those of millions of gamers across the world—are going to be needed to save the earth from what’s about to befall it. Yet even as he and his new comrades scramble to prepare for the alien onslaught, Zack can’t help thinking of all the science-fiction books, TV shows, and movies he grew up reading and watching, and wonder: Doesn’t something about this scenario seem a little too... familiar? Armada is at once a rollicking, surprising thriller, a classic coming of age adventure, and an alien-invasion tale like nothing you’ve ever read before—one whose every page is infused with author Ernest Cline’s trademark pop-culture savvy. Link: books.google.at Jetzt gerade begonnen: Brian Krebs - Spam Nation Spam Nation There is a Threat Lurking Online with the Power to Destroy Your Finances, Steal Your Personal Data, and Endanger Your Life.In Spam Nation, investigative journalist and cybersecurity expert Brian Krebs unmasks the criminal masterminds driving some of the biggest spam and hacker operations targeting Americans and their bank accounts. Tracing the rise, fall, and alarming resurrection of the digital mafia behind the two largest spam pharmacies-and countless viruses, phishing, and spyware attacks-he delivers the first definitive narrative of the global spam problem and its threat to consumers everywhere.Blending cutting-edge research, investigative reporting, and firsthand interviews, this terrifying true story reveals how we unwittingly invite these digital thieves into our lives every day. From unassuming computer programmers right next door to digital mobsters like "Cosma"-who unleashed a massive malware attack that has stolen thousands of Americans' logins and passwords-Krebs uncovers the shocking lengths to which these people will go to profit from our data and our wallets.Not only are hundreds of thousands of Americans exposing themselves to fraud and dangerously toxic products from rogue online pharmacies, but even those who never open junk messages are at risk. As Krebs notes, spammers can-and do-hack into accounts through these emails, harvest personal information like usernames and passwords, and sell them on the digital black market. The fallout from this global epidemic doesn't just cost consumers and companies billions, it costs lives too.Fast-paced and utterly gripping, Spam Nation ultimately proposes concrete solutions for protecting ourselves online and stemming this tidal wave of cybercrime-before it's too late."Krebs's talent for exposing the weaknesses in online security has earned him respect in the IT business and loathing among cybercriminals... His track record of scoops...has helped him become the rare blogger who supports himself on the strength of his reputation for hard-nosed reporting." -Bloomberg Businessweek Link: books.google.at
