User Profile
Trying to explore a wide range of literature, especially fiction, and I'm not afraid of challenging texts. In general, all periods and genres, with a preference for postmodern literature . Reading in german and english.
Versuche, mir ein möglichst weites Feld an Literatur, vor allem der Belletristik, zu erschließen; es darf gerne auch mal herausfordernd sein. Grundsätzlich alle Epochen, alle Genres, mit besonderer Vorliebe für die Postmoderne. Lese auf deutsch und auf englisch.

JonathanHDavis reviewed The Remains of the Day by Kazuo Ishiguro

Brilliant!
5 stars
Ishiguro shows how incredible a modern novel can be. Stevens is such a well-rounded, interesting character to spend time with. As you get to know him more, you see how his flaws effect how he tells his own story. The result is a beautiful story where you find yourself reflecting on previous chapters, seeing them constantly in a new light.

@mouse I'm from germany, and I know at least three very different types of Apfelkuchen. The one you describe reminds me rather of a "Französische Apfeltarte" (french apple tarte) which is also popular in the south west of germany. Try searching for recipes for "Versunkener Apfelkuchen" (sunken apples) or "Gedeckter Apfelkuchen" (covered apples) instead.
