Jenny Erpenbeck's highly acclaimed novel Go, Went, Gone was a New York Times notable book and launched one of Germany's most admired writers into the American spotlight. In the New Yorker, James Wood wrote: "When Erpenbeck wins the Nobel Prize in a few years, I suspect that this novel will be cited."
On the heels of this literary breakthrough comes , a book of personal, profound, often humorous meditations and reflections. Erpenbeck writes, "With this collection of texts, I am looking back for the first time at many years of my life, at the thoughts that filled my life from day to day."
Starting with her childhood days in East Berlin ("I start with my life as a schoolgirl ... my own conscious life begins at the same time as the socialist life of Leipziger Strasse"), Not a Novel provides a glimpse of growing up in the GDR and of what it was like to be twenty-two when the wall collapsed; it takes us through Erpenbeck's early adult years, working in a bakery after immersing herself in the worlds of music, theater, and opera, and ultimately discovering her path as a writer.
There are lively essays about her literary influences (Thomas Bernhard, the Brothers Grimm, Kafka, and Thomas Mann), unforgettable reflections on the forces at work in her novels (including history, silence, and time), and scathing commentaries on the dire situation of America and Europe today. "Why do we still hear laments for the Germans who died attempting to flee over the wall, but almost none for the countless refugees who have drowned in the Mediterranean in recent years, turning the sea into a giant grave?"
With deep insight and warm intelligence, Jenny Erpenbeck provides us with a collection of unforgettable essays that take us into the heart and mind of "one of the finest and most exciting writers alive" (Michel Faber).

Typos and confusing/missing information
Format: Paperback, Format: Paperback
I finished Domain 1 and it's okay. Things are explained well, but there are a lot of typos and strange formatting. The cover of the book says 2025-2026, but the spine of the book says 2024-2025. The way that the quiz questions are worded is confusing and sometimes repetitive. I had 2 of the same questions in a row in one section. I'm struggling to take some quizzes because the questions that are being asked do not reference any material from that section (or anywhere in the book so far). I feel like there is information missing in the sections because the quizzes have random terms that have never been mentioned. Example: D1: Essential knowledge questions I am being asked about estimation tools like story points, relative estimation, and planning poker. Nowhere in the book have those things been mentioned.

I passed!!! —Highly Recommend
Format: Paperback
Great study guide and structure tailored to the 4 domains that are in the CAPM Exam. I just passed the exam on my first try scoring above target in 3/4 categories and target in 1/4 categories. The online simulations was a great way to prepare for the exam. Highly recommend you purchase to pass the first try! (This and the PMBOK Guide 7th edition were the only study materials I used)

Excellent intro to Crypto
Format: Paperback
Great book for learning about Crypto. I found it well balanced between technical and non-technical information. Love the video inserts to help mix up the learning media. I highly recommend this for people trying to understand the economic models of crypto, the history of crypto as well as the more technical information about how it works (which can be easily skipped if you like). I bought a couple of these for friends.

GREAT BOOK
Format: Paperback, Format: Paperback
Before reading this book, I had no knowledge whatsoever about cryptocurrencies as I started reading through the book I learned about coins, tokens, decentralize systems. Everything you need to know about crypto NFT‘s futures and much more is in this book. The book is also extremely well structured has pictures and very detailed examples. It’s a must buy!
