Maybe even a refurbished one to minimize Google profits. I usually buy them second hand but still new from people who got them from their carriers for a contract extension.

This might be good for the false negatives but not for the false positives.

Walter Moers is a German writer best known for creating ‘Captain Bluebear’ in my all time favorite book. He has since written several fantastic novels based on the continent Zamonia. In some ways I think you could compare bis work and way of writing to Terry Pratchett’s.

Another German author that gave me lots of great hours of reading growing up is Cornelia Funke. For me it was mainly the book Dragonrider, but she is also well known for her Inkheart series and The Thief Lord.

That sounds like the kind of setup I have been aiming at. Can you recommend any guides for not so advanced users lile myself? Thanks!
