I am currently reading:
The World of Yesterday a nonfiction book, by Stefan Zweig, an Austrian writer who lived 1881-1942.

Letters to a Young Poet by Rainer Maria Rilke, an Austro Hungarian poet, who wrote in German.

This year I also read:
The Sense of an Ending, fiction, by Julian Barnes, a British novelist

The Dog’s Last Walk, a collection of his writings in The Independent by Howard Jacobson, a British journalist and novelist, known for his satirical novels.


And so it goes.
My best wishes.
