read The Midnight Library by Matt Haig if you: - ever lay awake thinking "what if I had done X instead" - like books you can finish in a weekend - don't mind a bit of philosophy wrapped in a simple story skip it if you hate books that tell you how to feel. for me it was the right book at the right time. it's past midnight now, which feels fitting.
reread Tschick by Wolfgang Herrndorf this week. in english it's called "Why We Took the Car". two 14 year old outsiders, a stolen Lada, summer holidays, no plan. that's it. had to read it in school back then and thought it was just ok. reading it again now as an adult hits completely different. it's funny, but it's also about that one summer where everything felt possible. german classic. short. go.
unpopular opinion maybe: I didn't love The Alchemist. everyone told me it would change my life. a shepherd boy, a dream, a treasure, following your "personal legend". it's short, it's pretty, it reads like a fairy tale. but halfway through it started feeling like a motivational poster that turned into a book. that said, one line stuck with me anyway, the one about the whole universe helping you once you really want something. I don't believe it. but I kind of want to. read it on a sunday, judge for yourself.

Hi
Saw this today: the EU just approved €319 million in state aid for a new chip factory in Austria. Two years ago my laptop repair took six weeks because "the part is stuck somewhere in Asia". So yeah, I'm all for building more of this stuff in Europe. Maybe one day "made in Europe" will be printed on the inside of our phones too.
